Lennon Micro Sequin Cone Yarn 250g – Cotton and Polyester for Pieces That Shine
Lennon is Tessiland’s 250-gram cone yarn that combines the natural freshness of cotton with the understated elegance of micro sequins. With 600 meters of length and a 69% cotton / 31% polyester composition, it’s designed for anyone who wants to create pieces with a luminous touch without giving up everyday wearability. Perfect for mid-season and beyond.
What makes Lennon truly special? Its rare balance of substance and lightness. Cotton ensures breathability and softness against the skin, while the polyester micro sequins — ultra-fine, almost imperceptible to the touch yet highly visible in the light — add a golden or silvery shimmer that turns even the simplest stitch into something precious. The 250g cone with 600 meters provides plenty of yardage for structured projects: from lacy crochet tops to knitted jackets, as well as camisoles, tanks and on-trend accessories. Thanks to its weight and meterage, Lennon works well with needlessize 5-7 and a crochethook size 4-6, allowing airy stitches that highlight the play of light from the sequins without weighing the garment down. On Tessiland you can check the lot number directly on the product sheet: information only we show with this level of transparency, essential to ensure consistent color across multiple cones within the same project.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: What are you really buying?
Let’s take a closer look at Lennon’s technical features: from fiber composition and the visual effect of micro sequins, to practical tips for getting the best from every stitch and every project.
1. Fiber composition and quality: cotton and polyester side by side
Lennon is made of 69% cotton and 31% polyester. Cotton, a natural and breathable fiber, is the yarn’s base and defines its softness, skin comfort and airflow: essential qualities for garments worn in spring, summer and mid-season. Polyester plays a dual role: on one hand it adds better dimensional stability to the finished piece, reducing the risk of stretching after washing; on the other, it carries the micro sequins, the signature element of this yarn. The balanced percentage of the two fibers avoids the typical drawbacks of pure cotton (tendency to lose shape) and pure synthetics (poor breathability), delivering a hybrid yarn with the best of both.
2. Micro sequins: light effect, distribution and aesthetic result
Lennon’s micro sequins are its visual signature. Unlike traditional sequins — thicker and more showy — Lennon’s are ultra-fine and fully integrated into the yarn, evenly distributed throughout the cone to ensure a continuous, uniform shimmer. The result is a subtle, sophisticated glow, most noticeable in natural light or raking artificial light, never overpowering or flashy.
This type of micro sequins:
- Doesn’t interfere with knitting or crochet, gliding smoothly without friction
- Doesn’t tend to detach or lose adhesion over time with normal hand washing or cold machine washing
- Elevates simple stitches like single crochet, t-shirt yarn-style stitches or stockinette, enhancing texture even in the most basic projects
3. Meterage, weight and tension: how Lennon behaves in practice
With 600 meters on a 250-gram cone, Lennon offers a yield of 2.4 meters per gram: a generous meterage that places it among medium-light yarns, suitable for pieces with body but not heavy. The recommended tension is:
- Needles size 5-7: ideal for structured stitches, stockinette or lace patterns that let light through and highlight the sequins
- Crochet hook size 4-6: recommended for more open work such as mesh stitches, crab stitch or airy fabrics, perfect for summer tops and tunics
The cone format is ideal for medium-to-large yardage projects: it lets you work continuously without mid-project knots and unwinds neatly without tangling thanks to professional winding.
4. Color fastness and lot consistency: why the dye lot matters
For a micro-sequin yarn like Lennon, color consistency across multiple cones is even more important than for a solid yarn: even a minimal tone variation between different lots would be visible precisely because the sequins’ reflective effect amplifies color differences.
Tessiland is the only Italian e-commerce to show the dye lot/lot number directly on the product sheet, allowing you to purchase multiple cones from the same dye batch in one go and guarantee perfect uniformity in the finished work. If the lot runs out during your project, our customer service with real people — not bots — will help you find the best solution, checking availability of similar lots or advising you on how to manage a possible dye-lot change.
5. Seasonal versatility and recommended project types
Lennon is a true four-season yarn. Cotton makes it pleasant for spring and autumn, while worked in very open crochet stitches it’s also suitable for summer months. The micro sequins make it especially loved for:
- Evening tops, camisoles and blouses or special-occasion pieces
- Light jackets and cardigans for spring
- Shimmery accessories like bags, headbands and headpieces
- Festive pieces such as tops or dresses for casual ceremonies
Its natural style versatility makes it suitable for experienced makers and beginners alike who want an eye-catching result without complex techniques: the yarn does the work.
Care: How to keep your pieces looking great over time
Lennon is a sturdy, well-made yarn, but micro sequins require a bit more attention during washing to preserve their sparkle over time. Following these guidelines will help your piece last.
- Hand wash preferably, in cold water or at most 30°C with a gentle detergent for delicates. For the very first washes, always hand wash in cold water.
- Machine wash only if necessary: delicate or wool cycle, max 30°C, low spin. Use a protective laundry mesh bag to safeguard the micro sequins.
- No bleach or harsh stain removers: they can alter both the cotton color and the sequins’ sheen.
- Do not tumble dry: heat can deform synthetic fibers and dull the micro sequins.
- Dry flat, away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight, to help the piece keep its shape.
- Do not iron: direct heat would damage the polyester micro sequins. If needed, use steam from a distance without direct contact.
- Dry cleaning not recommended: chemical solvents may affect both fibers and sequins.

✨ TESSILAND STUDIOFrequently Asked Questions
Is Lennon suitable for summer garments or is it too warm?
It largely depends on the stitch pattern you choose. The 69% cotton base ensures breathability, but stitch structure makes the difference: worked in very open crochet stitches (mesh, lace), Lennon becomes suitable for warm weather too, for light tops and tunics. With denser stitches on needles, it’s better suited to mid-season wear.
Do the micro sequins come off after washing?
Lennon’s micro sequins are integrated into the yarn structure and not applied on the surface like traditional sequins, so they don’t tend to come off with normal washing. To preserve their sparkle over time, we still recommend hand washing in cold water or machine washing on a delicate cycle at max 30°C, preferably inside a protective mesh laundry bag.
How can I make sure I’m buying multiple cones from the same dye lot?
Tessiland is the only Italian e-commerce to show the dye lot/lot number directly on the product sheet. Before adding to cart, make sure all the cones you want to purchase belong to the same lot. If you have questions or specific needs, our support team — made up of real people, not bots — is here to help.
Can I use Lennon for an evening piece or a special occasion?
Absolutely—this is where Lennon truly shines. The light effect of the micro sequins is enhanced under typical evening, event and ceremony lighting, giving your piece a luminous, elegant look that’s hard to achieve with traditional yarns.
Which crochet hook size is best to highlight the micro sequins?
To maximize the sequin shimmer, we recommend choosing a hook in the upper end of the suggested range (size 5-6) and working relatively open stitches. Lace patterns and mesh stitches create spaces that let light through, amplifying the yarn’s sparkle even in shaded areas of the garment.
Is the yarn suitable for knitting too? What difference in effect do you get compared to crochet?
Yes, Lennon is also recommended for needles size 5 to 7. In knitting, the effect is more soft and drapey, typical of stockinette: the micro sequins create a continuous, even shimmer across the surface, similar to certain dressmaking lurex fabrics. In crochet, open stitches create a more dynamic, broken-up play of light—great for summer and boho-inspired pieces.
Is Lennon’s cotton soft, or can it feel stiff when worn?
Lennon’s cotton feels pleasantly soft to the touch and won’t feel stiff or scratchy. The polyester helps the garment keep its structure without making the fiber rigid. As with most cotton-based yarns, a slight softening after the first washes is normal, making the piece even more comfortable to wear.
Can I combine Lennon with other yarns in the same project?
Yes, with a few considerations. When pairing it with other yarns, make sure they have a compatible weight and working tension (needles 5-7 / crochet hook 4-6). It pairs beautifully with solid cotton yarns or metallic threads to create stripes or alternating sections that enhance the contrast between shimmery and matte areas.
Does the yarn glide well while working, or do the sequins create friction?
Lennon’s micro sequins are so fine and well integrated that they don’t create noticeable friction while working, whether knitting or crocheting. The yarn glides smoothly like a regular cotton. No special handling is needed compared to standard yarn.
Is the 250g cone suitable for working without knots in the middle of a project?
Yes: the cone format is ideal for minimizing join knots. With 600 meters of continuous yarn, most medium-sized projects can be completed without interruptions, or with very few joins at most. Professional winding also ensures neat, tangle-free unwinding.
What should I do if the dye lot I bought runs out before I finish my project?
In this case, we recommend contacting our customer service right away, handled by real people rather than automated systems. The Tessiland team will check whether cones from the same lot are still available, or advise you on the best way to manage a possible dye-lot change—for example by placing the join in a less visible area of the garment.
Is Lennon suitable for beginners with crochet or knitting?
Absolutely. Lennon is a yarn that “does the work for you”: thanks to the micro sequins, even the simplest stitches like single crochet or stockinette look polished and precious. You don’t need advanced techniques to achieve a striking result, making it ideal for anyone just starting out in the handmade world.
