Chuck Acrylic Microfiber 100g: A Fine, Ultra-Soft Yarn for Garments
The Chuck acrylic microfiber yarn is the synthetic yarn that redefines acrylic quality: fine, incredibly soft and versatile—perfect for garments that fit beautifully without adding bulk to the silhouette. With 400 metres per 100-gram ball, Chuck delivers outstanding yardage and is available on Tessiland with clear dye-lot information shown on the product page.
Chuck represents excellence among Tessiland’s acrylics: a refined microfiber that stands apart from the usual budget acrylics thanks to its superior softness and extra-fine strand. This yarn is ideal for making elegant garments that won’t thicken the silhouette, making it a great option for comfortable sizing too. Its fine texture works beautifully for both adult clothing and makes for little ones, thanks to Tessiland’s high, carefully controlled production standards. Versatile and hard-wearing, Chuck performs brilliantly both in crochet and knitting, and it’s also available in Lurex and Sfumata versions for endless creative combinations. Easy to work, it suits beginners and experienced makers alike, while its low-maintenance practicality makes it a perfect everyday staple.
TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: what are you really buying?
Chuck acrylic microfiber stands out for technical features that make it unique within the acrylic category. Let’s look at its composition, project versatility and what sets it apart from other synthetic yarns in the Tessiland collection.
1. What acrylic microfiber is—and why Chuck is different
Acrylic microfiber is a next-generation synthetic fibre made of extremely fine filaments, giving the yarn superior softness and fineness compared to traditional acrylics. Chuck represents excellence in this category thanks to a production process closely controlled by Tessiland.
Compared to typical low-cost acrylics on the market, Chuck offers:
- Superior softness: microfiber delivers a silky hand, pleasant to work and comfortable to wear
- Extra-fine strand: with 400 metres per 100 grams, Chuck is among the finest acrylics in the Tessiland range
- Verified quality: production under strict supervision, with high standards suitable even for children’s garments
- Elegant drape: creates pieces that don’t add bulk, ideal for comfortable sizing
For comparison: Bravissimo is slightly fuller, while Teck Cotton is even finer, with a cotton-style twist that visually recalls Filo di Scozia while still being an acrylic microfiber.
2. Chuck for garments: uses and versatility
Chuck is a go-to yarn for garments thanks to its unique characteristics, making it suitable for many types of clothing and accessories. Its fineness allows you to create pieces that wear elegantly without adding volume.
Ideal garments:
- Lightweight sweaters and cardigans: perfect for transitional seasons, flattering without bulk
- Summer tops and tanks: the fine strand creates breathable, comfortable fabrics
- Children’s dresses: controlled quality makes it suitable for little ones too
- Shawls and wraps: excellent softness and drape for elegant accessories
- Blankets and throws: warm but not heavy, perfect for the sofa
Chuck’s versatility also extends to accessories like scarves, hats, gloves and bags. Suitable for both women’s and men’s projects, it works well for all ages. Availability in Lurex (with a shimmering thread) and Sfumata (with colour gradients) opens up endless creative options for original combinations.
3. Knitting and crochet: practical tips
Chuck performs beautifully both for knitting and crochet, delivering excellent results in either technique. Its ease of use makes it a great choice for beginners as well as advanced makers.
Knitting (2.5-3 mm needles):
- Stockinette and simple stitches: create fluid, soft fabrics—ideal for sweaters and cardigans
- Lace stitches: the fine strand highlights eyelets and decorative shaping
- Cables and texture: define elegantly without weighing the garment down
- Even tension: the yarn glides smoothly, helping consistent stitchwork
Crochet (2-2.5 mm hook):
- Amigurumi: compact yet soft texture, ideal for toys and plush makes
- Solid stitches: create durable fabrics for structured bags and accessories
- Decorative stitches: shells, arches and picots show crisp definition
- Filet and doilies: the fineness allows delicate, refined work
Tessiland tip: always make a 10x10 cm swatch to check your personal tension and adjust needle/hook size to your needs.
4. Dye lots and stock planning on Tessiland
Tessiland is the only Italian e-commerce to show the dye lot/batch number transparently on Chuck’s product page. This key detail helps you plan confidently, avoiding unwanted colour variations.
Why dye lots matter:
- Guaranteed colour consistency: balls from the same lot match perfectly
- Smarter planning: calculate how many balls you need and order them together
- No surprises: avoid visible shade differences in the finished piece
- Full transparency: clear information before you buy
If the displayed lot is close to selling out or you’re unsure about quantities, Tessiland’s customer service (real people, not bots) can help check future availability, suggest alternatives or support you with yarn calculations. For projects requiring many balls, you can contact them in advance to secure the quantity you need from the same lot.
Note: for projects mixing several colours or using Lurex/Sfumata versions, lot consistency becomes less critical, giving you more flexibility.
5. Value for money and yardage performance
Chuck is an excellent investment if you want premium quality at an accessible price. Its value for money stands out in the acrylic category because it offers features usually found in higher-end yarns.
Outstanding yardage: 400 metres per 100 grams
- Generous length: almost double many standard acrylics at the same weight
- Fewer balls needed: high yield reduces the number of balls for a project
- Lower total cost: more metres means a lower final project cost
- Fewer joins: fewer ball changes for a cleaner finish
Quality that lasts:
- Wear resistance: keeps softness and appearance after repeated use
- Shape retention: garments are less likely to lose their form over time
- Easy care: machine washable without losing key properties
- Everyday-friendly: ideal for modern, busy lifestyles
As Tessiland highlights: "if a synthetic is made with quality, sometimes it’s better than many naturals". Chuck embodies that philosophy, combining practicality, durability and comfort at an accessible price—ideal both for hobby makers and for those creating pieces to sell.
Care: how to keep your garments looking great
Chuck care is extremely simple—one of the biggest advantages of this acrylic microfiber. Perfect for anyone with a busy routine who needs practical, durable pieces.
- First washes by hand recommended: not because the yarn is delicate, but to let stitches settle evenly and achieve the best look right away
- Machine wash: use a delicate cycle at 30°C with moderate spin; Chuck handles mechanical washing very well
- Neutral detergent: choose mild detergents without bleach or optical brighteners to preserve colour vibrancy
- Natural drying: dry flat on a level surface to keep the original shape; avoid direct sunlight
- Optional ironing: if needed, use a warm iron with a pressing cloth—usually unnecessary thanks to microfiber’s low-crease nature
- Storage: keep in a dry, airy place; acrylic doesn’t attract moths or mould
- Pilling removal: any surface fuzz (rare with Chuck) is easy to remove with a fabric shaver or de-piller

Frequently Asked Questions
How many balls of Chuck do I need for a size M sweater?
For a women’s long-sleeve size M sweater, you’ll typically need 5-6 balls of 100g Chuck (2,000-2,400 metres total), but the exact amount depends on the pattern, stitch choice and your personal tension. We recommend making a 10x10 cm swatch and calculating based on the pattern. Tessiland customer service can help you with a precise estimate once you’ve chosen your design.
Is Chuck suitable for amigurumi, or is it too fine?
Chuck is perfect for amigurumi! Despite its fineness, with a 2-2.5 mm hook it creates a compact texture ideal for toys. The microfiber softness makes the finished pieces pleasant to touch, while the yarn’s strength ensures durability even with frequent handling. It’s especially suitable for small-to-medium amigurumi and delicate details.
Can I use Chuck for a newborn project?
Absolutely. Chuck is produced under Tessiland’s strict supervision with high-quality standards, making it suitable for little ones too. Acrylic microfiber is hypoallergenic, soft on delicate skin and very easy to wash—key features for baby garments. Just avoid embellishments with small detachable parts.
How does Chuck handle warmth—can I make a blanket?
Chuck is an excellent thermoregulator: it retains body heat without overheating, making it ideal for blankets and throws. Acrylic microfiber provides warmth without the weight of many natural fibres, perfect for sofa or bed blankets. Its resistance to frequent washing makes it especially practical for this use.
What’s the difference between Chuck, Lurex and Sfumata?
Chuck is solid-coloured; Chuck Lurex includes a metallic thread for a sparkling effect, ideal for special occasions; Chuck Sfumata features colour gradients that change automatically while you work, creating variegated effects without switching balls. All three versions share the same base composition and softness.
Why does Tessiland show the dye lot number?
Tessiland is the only Italian e-commerce to show the dye lot/batch number transparently on the product page. This lets you verify before purchase that all balls in your order come from the same production batch, ensuring perfect colour consistency and avoiding shade differences between balls.
Can I combine Chuck with other yarns?
Yes, Chuck works well in mixed projects. You can pair it with natural fibres like cotton or wool to create interesting textures, or work it held double with itself or with other Tessiland acrylics. Keep in mind that because it’s fine, to balance it with thicker yarns you may need to hold it double or triple.
Will Chuck pill after washing?
High-quality acrylic microfiber like Chuck is designed to minimise pilling. Any slight surface fuzz may appear in the first uses but stabilises quickly. By following the care instructions (first washes by hand, then a delicate machine cycle), pilling remains minimal. Any fuzz can be easily removed with a fabric shaver.
Can I dye Chuck at home?
Acrylic fibres are difficult to dye with home methods because they require specific dyes and very high temperatures. Chuck comes in a wide range of ready-to-use colours. If you want a variegated look, the Sfumata version already provides built-in gradients. For custom colour effects, it’s best to choose among the available shades.
Is Chuck better for knitting or crochet?
Both techniques work beautifully with Chuck. In knitting (2.5-3 mm needles), it creates fluid, drapey fabrics ideal for garments; in crochet (2-2.5 mm hook), it produces more compact textures perfect for amigurumi and structured accessories. The best choice depends on your project and preferred technique—Chuck suits both perfectly.
What if my dye lot is about to sell out?
If the product page shows your dye lot is nearly sold out and you need more balls, contact Tessiland customer service (real people, not bots) right away. They can check remaining stock, update you on incoming batches or suggest compatible alternatives. For large projects, it’s always best to contact them in advance to secure the quantity you need.
Does Chuck keep its shape after washing?
Yes. One of acrylic microfiber’s key strengths is excellent shape retention. Garments made with Chuck won’t easily stretch out or lose form after washing when you follow the care instructions. This makes it ideal for clothing that needs to keep its fit and structure over time, even with frequent washing.
