✨ TESSILAND STUDIOFrequently Asked Questions about Acrylic Yarn
What is acrylic yarn and how is it different from natural wool?
Acrylic yarn is a synthetic fibre made from polyacrylate that mimics the softness of natural wool, but is produced industrially. It contains no animal fibres, making it hypoallergenic, machine washable and moth-proof. The main difference is that it doesn't "breathe" like natural wool, but it is far more practical for everyday use.
Is Tessiland acrylic yarn machine washable?
Yes. The entire Acrylic Top Quality range is machine washable at 30°, gentle cycle. This is one of the main advantages over natural wool: jumpers, scarves and blankets stay intact wash after wash, without felting.
What is the difference between Chuck and Bravissimo?
Both are Tessiland acrylic microfibre, but the format differs: Chuck is 100g and is the most popular for jumpers and large projects; Bravissimo is available in 50g (for smaller projects) and 500g (jumbo ball with guaranteed dye lot). The fibre quality is equivalent.
How many balls of acrylic yarn do I need for a jumper?
An adult-size jumper crocheted or knitted typically requires 400–600g (4–6 balls of 100g, or 1 Bravissimo 500g). For children, 200–300g is usually enough. Always buy an extra ball from the same dye lot: yarn colour can vary slightly between production runs.
Is Tessiland acrylic yarn good for amigurumi?
Yes, especially Bravissimo 50g: it's soft, holds its shape after stuffing and the colour palette is perfect for creating vivid characters. For very small amigurumi, use a smaller hook size (2–2.5mm) to create a tight stitch that prevents the stuffing from showing through.
Is acrylic yarn for crochet different from yarn for knitting?
No: the same Tessiland acrylic yarn works for both crochet and knitting. Only the tool size and stitch type differ. Chuck and Bravissimo are multi-technique and adapt perfectly to any type of project.
