Isac: 100% Natural Bamboo Yarn for Crochet and Year-Round Makes
Discover Isac, Tessiland's 100% natural bamboo yarn, made for those looking for a soft, breathable and truly versatile material. A 50-gram ball for about 125 metres of yarn, perfect to work with a size 3 hook or size 3 needles, turning every make into a little corner of nature. It's part of Tessiland's cotton and blends range.
Bamboo fibre is extracted from the woody part of the plant, a crop that grows lush without the need for chemical fertilisers, improves the soil it's grown on and is fully biodegradable. That's why Isac isn't just a bamboo yarn that's lovely to work: it's a sustainable choice that puts all the nobility of a fine plant fibre in your hands. Bamboo is an excellent alternative to cotton and, in some ways, even a superior choice. Its fibre lets the skin breathe more deeply, making Isac a true year-round staple.
Technical Analysis: What are you really buying?
Let's look in detail at the properties and benefits of Isac Pure Natural Bamboo yarn, to fully understand the versatility, superior quality and sustainability that make it ideal for every kind of make.
1. Composition and Sustainable Origin
Isac is made of 100% pure natural bamboo fibre. Bamboo fibre is extracted from the woody part of the plant, a crop that grows lush without the need for chemical fertilisers, improves the soil it's grown on and is fully biodegradable. This plant-based raw material, known for its rapid, low-impact growth, is processed in ways that preserve its intrinsic qualities. Choosing bamboo as the yarn's base guarantees a final product that is hypoallergenic, breathable and biodegradable, in line with an ethical, sustainable approach to fashion.
2. Yield, Handle and Glide
The yarn offers excellent yield per metre, with about 125 metres per 50g ball, letting you make large projects with few balls. Isac's handle is exceptionally soft, silky and cool to the touch. Its particular glide helps your tools run smoothly, making crochet and knitting a fluid, pleasant experience, ideal for creating garments with a fluid drape and a lustrous look.
3. Seasonal Versatility and Hypoallergenic Properties
Bamboo fibre boasts remarkable thermoregulating properties: cool in summer thanks to its high breathability that wicks moisture away, and warm in winter thanks to its ability to retain body heat. Isac is a true year-round staple: in summer it's ideal for fresh little dresses, light tops and breathable accessories; in winter it gives you sweaters and pieces to wear in heated spaces. Being naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, it's the perfect choice for garments in contact with the skin, even for the most sensitive, children and people prone to allergies or dermatitis.
4. Durability, Twist and Dyeing
Isac is made to minimise the tendency to pill, giving your makes good durability over time. The twist is moderate, designed to provide the right structure without compromising softness. Any slight irregularities or knots in the fibre are an intrinsic feature of natural fibre and not a defect. Dyeing is done through a careful lot bath, guaranteeing uniform, vibrant colours. Transparency on the colour lots ensures colour consistency across different purchases. The colour palette is selected specifically to enhance the qualities of bamboo.
5. Recommended Gauge and Working Techniques
Isac yarn is ideally suited to a medium gauge, with recommended size 3 needles and hooks. This size gives a balanced fabric that showcases the sheen of the fibre and its drape, without the work being either too stiff or too elastic. Its workability suits both simple stitches and more complex work, such as lace or cables, letting you appreciate its sheen and definition.
Care: Extend the life of your product
To preserve the beauty and softness of your Isac garments, we recommend doing the first wash strictly by hand in cold water, to let the fibre settle without stress. After this first step, the garment can always be washed by hand with a gentle detergent and cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C). Ironing is possible by placing a cotton cloth between the iron and the work, at a low temperature (preferably with steam). Tumble drying is not recommended: it's better to dry the garment flat on a horizontal surface, away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight, to preserve its shape and colour. Finally, avoid bleach.

Is Isac bamboo yarn suitable for both crochet and knitting?
Yes, it works perfectly with both using a size 3. The silky, glide-y fibre lets your tools run smoothly, giving well-defined stitches and a lovely lustrous drape. It suits both simple stitches and more elaborate work like lace and cables, which showcase its sheen.
What are the main benefits of Isac's bamboo fibre?
Bamboo fibre offers excellent breathability, it's hypoallergenic and antibacterial, incredibly soft to the touch, and has thermoregulating properties that make it cool in summer and comfortable in winter. It's also an ecologically sustainable and biodegradable choice.
Is Isac suitable for garments against delicate skin or for babies?
Absolutely. The hypoallergenic nature and extraordinary softness of bamboo fibre make Isac an excellent choice for garments in direct contact with the skin, including those for babies and for people with skin sensitivities, allergies or dermatitis.
What's the difference between Isac bamboo yarn and a standard cotton?
Compared with cotton, Isac offers a silkier, glide-y handle, greater breathability and better thermoregulating properties. Bamboo fibre tends to stay cooler on the skin than pure cotton, with a more fluid drape and a more lustrous look.
Is Isac only for summer or does it work all year round?
It's a true year-round staple. In summer it's ideal for fresh little dresses, light tops and breathable accessories; in winter, thanks to the fibre's ability to retain body heat, it's perfect for sweaters and pieces to wear in heated spaces. Its thermoregulating properties make it comfortable all year.
How do I get uniform colours across several balls of Isac?
Dyeing is done through a careful lot bath and Tessiland shows the colour dye-lot number directly on the product page. For large projects, buy all the balls you need at once, from the same lot: this guarantees perfect colour uniformity in the finished garment.
How many balls of Isac do I need for a summer top?
With 125 metres per ball, a size M summer top in crochet or knitting (size 3) takes on average 5-6 balls, depending on the design and length. For a precise estimate on your project use Tessiland Studio, which calculates the quantities based on the pattern.
Can I work Isac with advanced techniques like lace and cables?
Of course. The right twist and the glide of the fibre make Isac suitable for both simple stitches and more complex work: lace, openwork stitches and cables come out well-defined and bring out the natural sheen of bamboo.
