Technical analysis: what are you buying?
Prince yarn represents a perfect balance between Italian textile tradition and aesthetic innovation. The presence of mohair adds softness and warmth, while the teardrop sequins bring a touch of understated elegance. Let’s take a closer look at the technical features that make this yarn ball ideal for special projects.
1. Composition and Yarn Structure
Prince yarn features a carefully designed blended composition to balance aesthetics and functionality:
- 48% Polyamide: ensures strength, elasticity and easy care, making the yarn durable over time
- 25% Acrylic: contributes softness and colour retention, helping the garment stay stable after washing
- 18% Mohair: a noble fibre of Italian origin that gives loft, lightness and a soft, enveloping visual effect
- 9% Polyester: improves the yarn structure and helps secure the sequins along the strand
The teardrop sequins are threaded directly into the yarn during production, creating a three-dimensional effect reminiscent of drops of dew. This Made in Italy artisan workmanship ensures a harmonious distribution of decorative elements without compromising the workability of the yarn ball.
2. Technical Features and Yield
With 50 grams in weight and 95 metres in length, Prince offers balanced yield for medium-sized projects. Its metres-to-gram ratio (1.9 m/g) classifies it as a medium-weight yarn, ideal for:
- Elegant ceremony stoles and scarves
- Light yet eye-catching shoulder wraps
- Cardigans and pullovers with luminous details
- Fashion accessories such as bags, pouches and neck warmers
The recommended needles 6-8 and crochet hook 5-7 allow you to achieve an airy fabric that enhances the softness of the mohair and lets the sequins stand out without hiding them. The final texture feels soft to the touch yet visually rich, perfect for garments worn directly on the skin or over blouses and tops.
3. Workability and Recommended Techniques
Prince is easy to work with both in knitting and crochet, but it does require a few specific precautions to enhance the sequins:
- While working, the teardrop sequins naturally tend to settle on the right side of the fabric: there is no need to position them manually
- For all over projects, we recommend simple stitches such as stockinette stitch, garter stitch, or chains and single crochet, which enhance the texture without hiding the decorative details
- For inserts and edges, Prince can be paired with smooth solid-colour yarns to create elegant contrasts
- The sequins do not interfere with needles or crochet hook: they glide along the yarn without causing snags
Thanks to the presence of synthetic fibres, the yarn keeps a good elasticity and does not tend to fray during work. The soft hand of the mohair also makes longer crafting sessions pleasant.
4. Colour Fastness and Long-Lasting Performance
The synthetic component of the yarn (polyamide, acrylic, polyester) ensures excellent colour fastness even after repeated washing. Mohair, while a natural fibre, benefits from the stabilisation offered by the man-made fibres, reducing the risk of fading.
The teardrop sequins are firmly secured to the yarn and hold up well to everyday wear when the garment is handled with care. They have no sharp edges or corners, making them comfortable even in direct contact with the skin.
Prince keeps its structure over time without any significant tendency to pill, thanks to the quality of the selected fibres. The airy halo of the mohair may settle slightly after the first washes, but without any obvious loss of volume.
5. Creative Ideas and Pairings
The creative possibilities with Prince are practically endless. Here are some project ideas to make the most of this special yarn:
- Ceremony stole: perfect for weddings, christenings or elegant events, worked in garter stitch for maximum softness
- Bon ton cardigan: to wear over white blouses or monochrome dresses for a sophisticated contrast
- Glam accessories: pouches, crossbody bags or evening clutches with an internal rigid structure
- Loop neck warmer: practical and eye-catching, ideal for transitional seasons
- Details on basic sweaters: sleeves, collars or trims in Prince on plain wool garments for unique customisations
Prince pairs beautifully with yarns in merino wool, cashmere or mercerised cotton in neutral or contrasting shades, allowing you to play with texture and shine.
How to preserve your garments over time
To preserve the beauty of Prince yarn and the hold of the teardrop sequins, it is essential to follow a few care instructions:
- Hand washing is preferable: use lukewarm water (max 30°C) and a gentle detergent specifically for wool or delicate garments
- If you choose machine washing, select the gentlest available cycle and place the garment in a protective laundry bag or closed pillowcase
- Do not rub or wring the garment: press gently to remove excess water
- Dry flat on a horizontal surface, away from direct heat sources and strong sunlight
- Do not iron directly on the sequins: if needed, iron inside out at low temperature with a protective cloth
- Storage: keep folded in a dry place, avoiding hanging so the structure does not lose shape

How many Prince yarn balls are needed to make a stole?
For a standard-size stole (approx. 50x180 cm), you will need 6-8 yarn balls of Prince, depending on your tension and the stitch chosen. For larger projects or ones with decorative borders, allow for 9-10 yarn balls. The video tutorials included in the product sheet provide precise guidance on yarn usage for each project.
Are the teardrop sequins securely attached, or could they come off?
The sequins are threaded directly onto the yarn during the artisan production process and are firmly secured. With gentle care and by following the washing instructions, they will not come off. Avoid intense rubbing or aggressive washing to preserve their integrity over time.
Is Prince suitable for making garments for children?
Although it is a soft yarn, Prince contains rigid decorative elements (sequins) that may not be ideal for garments intended for very young children. It is more suitable for accessories or garments for older girls (from age 6 and up) under supervision, or for decorative projects not intended as children's clothing.
Can I pair Prince with other yarns in my projects?
Absolutely yes! Prince pairs beautifully with smooth yarns in merino wool, alpaca, mercerised cotton or cashmere. You can use it for borders, inserts, sleeves or decorative panels on garments made with base yarns, creating elegant contrasts between smooth and luminous textures.
Could the mohair in Prince irritate sensitive skin?
The mohair in Prince makes up 18% of the composition and is balanced by soft synthetic fibres. It is generally well tolerated, but anyone with very sensitive skin may prefer to wear garments made with it over a blouse or top to avoid direct contact, or test a small swatch against the skin before proceeding.
Does Prince shed like other mohair yarns?
The mohair content is moderate (18%) and balanced by synthetic fibres that stabilise the structure. During the first uses or while working, you may notice a slight fibre release, typical of mohair, but much less than with 100% mohair yarns. A gentle pass with a lint roller easily solves it.
What tension is recommended to achieve the right softness?
To enhance the airy halo of the mohair and let the sequins stand out, a not overly tight fabric is recommended. With size 7 needles or a size 6 crochet hook, you get a light and airy texture. Always make a 10x10 cm swatch to check that the fabric hand matches your expectations.
Is Prince a seasonal yarn, or can it be used all year round?
Thanks to the lightness provided by the mohair and its blended composition, Prince is perfect for transitional seasons and cool summer evenings. It is not a heavy winter yarn, but it offers enough warmth for autumn and spring. Ideal for ceremony stoles even in warmer periods.
How do the sequins behave while knitting or crocheting?
The teardrop sequins glide along the yarn without causing snags with needles or crochet hook. They naturally tend to settle on the right side of the fabric. There is no need to move them manually: let them distribute naturally for a harmonious and random effect, like drops of dew.
Is Prince available in different colours?
Tessiland offers Prince in a carefully selected range of colours, visible on the product page. As it is an artisan Made in Italy yarn, shades may vary slightly between dye lots. For projects requiring multiple yarn balls, we recommend checking the dye lot number shown on the page and, if necessary, contacting customer service to ensure colour consistency.
Can I use Prince for crochet projects with openwork stitches?
Yes, Prince is also well suited to openwork stitches and shell patterns in crochet. The lightness of the mohair and the distribution of the sequins create a romantic and sophisticated effect. However, avoid overly dense openwork that could hide the sequins: choose designs with generous spacing to let the shine come through.
How can I check the dye lot number before purchasing?
Tessiland is the only e-commerce store that shows the dye lot number directly on the product page, ensuring total transparency. You can check this information before adding the product to your cart. If that lot sells out and you need more, contact customer service: real people (not bots) will help you find the best solution for your project.
