Patsy Naked: Micro-Sequin Yarn for Sparkling Creations
Patsy Naked is a special 100% polyester micro-sequin yarn designed to be paired with other yarns and turn every creation into a luminous, elegant piece. With 780 metres per 100 grams, it offers exceptional yield and a refined sparkling effect, perfect for enhancing sweaters, stoles, accessories and occasionwear. Available on Tessiland with full batch transparency and personalised support.
This micro-sequin thread stands out for its delicate, sophisticated shimmer, adding a refined touch of light without ever looking overdone. Unlike yarns with larger sequins, Patsy Naked uses extremely discreet micro-sequins that create a fine, even luminous effect. It should not be used on its own, but held together with a carrying yarn that wraps around the micro-sequins, ensuring comfort even for sensitive skin. Ideal for both winter and summer projects, it follows the trend for sparkling lettering and luminous details, adding elegance and personality to every handmade creation.

Technical analysis: what are you buying?
Patsy Naked is a unique creative solution for anyone who wants to enrich knitting and crochet projects with a refined luminous touch. Its technical structure and exceptional yield make it a valuable ally for transforming simple projects into elegant, sparkling creations.
1. How to use micro-sequin yarn
Patsy Naked must never be used on its own, but always held together with a carrying yarn. This method ensures that the micro-sequins are wrapped by the main yarn, avoiding direct contact with the skin and providing comfort even for sensitive skin.
The holding-together technique consists of working with two strands at the same time – the main yarn and Patsy Naked – as if they were a single strand. The result is a fabric in which the shimmer of the micro-sequins blends harmoniously with the structure of the carrying yarn.
Recommended pairings:
- With cotton yarns for bright, fresh summer projects
- With merino or alpaca wools for elegant, sparkling winter garments
- With bouclé or mohair yarns for rich, precious textures
- With smooth yarns to highlight the sparkling effect to the fullest
The extraordinary length of 780 metres means it can accompany many balls of the main yarn, making Patsy Naked extremely versatile and cost-effective.
2. Visual effect and types of micro-sequins
The micro-sequins in Patsy Naked are extremely small and discreet, creating a fine, sophisticated luminous effect that stands apart from more traditional yarns with larger, showier sequins.
This yarn is available in two aesthetic variations that offer different visual results:
- Contrasting sequins: silver micro-sequins that stand out against the yarn colour, creating a more visible, dynamic and sparkling effect, perfect for eveningwear and accessories designed to catch the eye
- Tone-on-tone sequins: the colour of the micro-sequins matches the tone of the yarn, creating an elegant, delicate and harmonious effect, ideal for those seeking understated sophistication
The shimmer is even and diffused, without creating overly shiny or flashy areas. The final result also depends on the carrying yarn selected: paired with light yarns it amplifies luminosity, while with dark yarns it creates sophisticated contrasts.
3. Ideal projects and creative applications
Patsy Naked lends itself to many creative applications, from full garments to decorative details and insertions.
Full sparkling garments:
- Elegant sweaters and cardigans for special occasions
- Evening shawls and stoles that need a precious touch
- Luminous shrugs and boleros for ceremonies
- Accessories such as hats, cowls and refined gloves
Insertions and decorative details:
- Sparkling borders on jumpers or blankets
- Bright embroidered lettering and initials, following the sparkling lettering trend
- Stripes or geometric motifs that create light contrasts
- Embellished cuffs, necklines and slits
The versatility of Patsy Naked allows it to be used for both winter projects paired with warm wools and summer creations alongside cottons and linens, always delivering an elegant, refined result.
4. Knitting and crochet work
Working with Patsy Naked held together with another yarn requires a few technical precautions to achieve the best results.
Recommended needles (3-5):
- The choice of needle size mainly depends on the carrying yarn
- Keeping an even tension prevents the micro-sequins from creating irregularities
- Stockinette stitch and garter stitch particularly enhance the sparkling effect
- For airy projects, use larger needles to create luminous transparency
Recommended crochet hook (2.5-4):
- Single and double crochet stitches distribute the shimmer evenly
- Openwork stitches amplify the play of light
- Take care not to pull the yarn too tightly in order to preserve the micro-sequins
Practical tip: when starting a new ball of the carrying yarn, make sure you have enough Patsy Naked to complete the project, taking advantage of the dye lot availability shown on Tessiland.
5. Yield advantages and value for money
With 780 metres per 100 grams, Patsy Naked offers exceptional yield that makes it especially good value for projects of all sizes.
This extraordinary length means that:
- A single cone can accompany many balls of the main yarn
- Waste and cone changes during work are reduced
- The value for money is extremely attractive
- It is possible to complete several projects with one package
On Tessiland, transparent dye lot information allows you to:
- Check the availability of the specific lot immediately
- Buy enough quantity for larger projects with the certainty of colour continuity
- Receive personalised support if you need extra quantity from the same lot
The 100% polyester composition guarantees strength, durability and lasting sparkle even after many washes, making Patsy Naked a long-lasting investment for enriching your creative yarn collection.
How to preserve your garments over time
The micro-sequins in Patsy Naked are designed to withstand washing while retaining their sparkle over time. Since this yarn is always used held together with another yarn, garment care will mainly depend on the properties of the carrying yarn.
- Always follow the care instructions on the label of the main yarn paired with Patsy Naked
- Choose delicate wash programmes to preserve the micro-sequins as well as possible
- Machine washing does not damage the micro-sequins when done with the right precautions
- Avoid overly aggressive spin cycles that could stress the carrying yarn
- For drying, lay the garment flat away from direct heat sources
- Do not use a tumble dryer unless the carrying yarn allows it
- If ironing is needed, follow the instructions for the main yarn and protect the micro-sequins with a cloth

✨ Apri Tessiland StudioFrequently asked questions
Can I use Patsy Naked on its own without holding it together?
No, Patsy Naked should never be used on its own. The micro-sequins need to be wrapped by a carrying yarn to avoid direct contact with the skin, which could feel uncomfortable especially for sensitive skin. Holding it together with another yarn guarantees comfort, structure and the best visual result.
What is the difference between contrasting sequins and tone-on-tone sequins?
Contrasting sequins use silver micro-sequins that stand out against the yarn colour, creating a more visible and dynamic luminous effect. Tone-on-tone sequins feature micro-sequins in the same colour as the yarn, producing a more elegant, delicate and harmonious result. The choice depends on the look you want: bold sparkle or understated refinement.
Which yarns can I pair with Patsy Naked?
Patsy Naked is extremely versatile and can be paired with any type of yarn: cotton, linen and viscose for fresh, luminous summer projects; merino, alpaca and mohair for elegant winter garments; bouclé or fantasy yarns for rich textures. The important thing is to choose a carrying yarn with a weight compatible with the recommended needles or crochet hooks (3-5 for needles, 2.5-4 for crochet hook).
How many metres of Patsy Naked do I need for a project?
It depends on the project and the carrying yarn chosen. In general, one 780-metre cone of Patsy Naked can accompany many balls of the main yarn. For a medium jumper worked fully held together, one cone is often enough. For insertions, borders or decorative lettering, usage will be lower. Check the attached video tutorials for more specific project estimates.
Is Patsy Naked suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, when used correctly. Held together with a soft, gentle carrying yarn (such as cotton, bamboo or hypoallergenic wool), Patsy Naked feels comfortable because the micro-sequins are wrapped by the main yarn and do not come into direct contact with the skin. The choice of carrying yarn is key to ensuring comfort for sensitive skin.
Do the micro-sequins get damaged in the wash?
No, the micro-sequins in Patsy Naked are designed to withstand washing while keeping their sparkle over time. By using delicate wash cycles and following the care instructions of the carrying yarn, the micro-sequins remain undamaged even in the washing machine. Avoid aggressive spin cycles and tumble drying unless permitted by the main yarn.
Can I create sparkling lettering and initials with Patsy Naked?
Absolutely yes. Patsy Naked is perfect for following the trend of bright embroidered lettering and initials. It can be used held together to embroider sparkling letters on jumpers, bags, cushions and accessories, or incorporated during the work to create geometric motifs and shimmering decorations that personalise every creation.
What kinds of projects is Patsy Naked best suited for?
Patsy Naked is ideal for elegant garments and refined accessories: evening sweaters and cardigans, luminous stoles and shawls, shrugs for ceremonies, and sparkling hats and cowls. It also excels in decorative insertions: blanket borders, stripes on jumpers, embellished cuffs and necklines. Its versatility makes it suitable for both winter and summer projects.
How do I keep an even tension when holding Patsy Naked together?
To achieve even tension, hold both yarns (Patsy Naked and the carrying yarn) in the same hand, letting them glide together through your fingers. Avoid pulling the micro-sequin yarn too tightly. Work a swatch to check tension and, if needed, adjust the needle or crochet hook size to achieve a balanced fabric that feels pleasant to the touch.
Why choose Patsy Naked on Tessiland?
On Tessiland you get full dye lot transparency, which is essential when buying enough quantity for a project with certainty of colour continuity. In addition, personalised customer support is always available to help if you need specific lots or pairing advice. The excellent value for money and the exceptional 780-metre yield make Patsy Naked a convenient and reliable choice.
Can I use Patsy Naked for openwork crochet projects?
Yes, Patsy Naked is perfect for openwork crochet. The micro-sequins create beautiful plays of light through open stitches, enhancing the sparkling effect. Openwork shawls, mesh summer tops, airy shrugs and elegant bags especially benefit from the diffused shimmer of Patsy Naked held together with cottons or lightweight yarns.
How long does one 780-metre cone of Patsy Naked last?
Thanks to its extraordinary 780-metre length, one cone of Patsy Naked goes a long way across many projects. For full garments worked held together (sweaters, cardigans, stoles), one cone is generally enough or even more than enough. For insertions, borders and decorative details, a single cone can embellish multiple creations, making Patsy Naked extremely economical and versatile.
