TECHNICAL ANALYSIS: What are you really buying?
Tessiland's brushed acrylic yarn is the result of a production process that combines technology and attention to detail. Every characteristic has been designed to offer you a superior working experience and long-lasting results over time.
1. What is brushing and why does it make the yarn so special?
Brushing is a processing technique that involves brushing the yarn surface, creating a fuzzy and fluffy finish reminiscent of mohair effect. This process isn't just aesthetic: the fuzzy texture traps air between the fibers, creating a natural thermal barrier that guarantees exceptional warmth while keeping the yarn lightweight.
The result is a material that offers:
- Volume and body without excessive weight
- Extraordinary tactile softness
- Thermal capacity superior to smooth yarns
- Elegant and sophisticated visual effect
Working in an airy manner, you can enhance the beauty of the brushing, obtaining voluminous and enveloping garments perfect for the cold season.
2. What projects can be made with this brushed yarn?
The versatility of this yarn makes it perfect for a wide range of winter projects. The brushed structure gives body and presence to every creation, while the softness guarantees immediate comfort in contact with the skin.
Recommended projects:
- Oversized sweaters with welcoming volume
- Long and enveloping cardigans
- Soft and warm scarves
- Hats and beanies with fluffy texture
- Baby blankets lightweight yet thermal
- Elegant shawls for cool evenings
With 300 meters per ball, you have generous yardage at your disposal that allows you to complete medium-sized projects with few balls, optimizing your budget without sacrificing quality.
3. How to work brushed yarn: needles or crochet?
This yarn lends itself magnificently to both knitting and crochet, offering excellent results with both techniques. The choice of needles or crochet depends on the desired effect and type of project.
Knitting (needles 4.5-5):
Classic stitches like stockinette or garter stitch enhance the brushed texture, creating soft and uniform surfaces. The brushing softens the transitions between stitches, giving a velvety appearance.
Crochet work (hook size 5):
Double crochet and half double crochet create airy fabrics that enhance the yarn's natural volume. The brushing fills the spaces between stitches, offering a compact yet lightweight visual result.
Tip: Work with relaxed tension to allow the brushing to express itself best, avoiding excessive compression of the fibers.
4. Why choose acrylic over other fibers?
100% acrylic is a synthetic fiber that offers concrete advantages for those who knit and crochet, especially when combined with brushing. It's not an economic compromise, but a conscious choice for those seeking practicality without sacrificing quality.
Advantages of acrylic:
- Doesn't felt: unlike wool, it maintains its shape even after numerous washes
- Hypoallergenic: ideal for those with sensitivity to animal wool
- Easy maintenance: machine washable with proper precautions
- Durable: colors remain vibrant over time
- Economical: unbeatable quality/price ratio
Produced according to the highest safety standards in compliance with European regulations, this yarn guarantees reliability for garments intended even for the little ones.

Care Instructions: How to preserve your garments over time
First washes: Carry out the first 2-3 washes strictly by hand with lukewarm water (max 30°C) and mild detergent to stabilize the brushed structure and set the work. Immerse the garment without rubbing, leave to soak for 10-15 minutes, then rinse gently.
Subsequent washes: After the first washes it's possible to use the washing machine with delicate/wool program at 30°C, placing the garment in a protective mesh bag. Do not spin to avoid stressing the brushed fibers.
Drying: Always dry flat on an absorbent towel, gently reshaping the garment to its original dimensions. Absolutely avoid direct exposure to heat sources (radiators, heaters) and do not use the dryer.
Storage: Fold brushed garments and store them in dry places. The brushing maintains its beauty if treated with care, reducing the release of lint after the first uses.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many balls are needed to make a women's sweater size M?
For a women's long-sleeved sweater size M you'll need on average 5-6 balls (500-600g total). With 300 meters per ball you have abundant yardage that optimizes the number of balls needed.
Does the brushing shed a lot of lint during working?
A slight release of lint is normal in the early stages of working and first uses. The phenomenon gradually reduces after the first washes. It's advisable to work on dark surfaces to notice the lint less.
Can I use this yarn for children's garments?
Absolutely yes. Acrylic is hypoallergenic and produced according to the highest safety standards in compliance with European regulations. The softness of the brushing makes it gentle on children's sensitive skin.
Is brushed yarn suitable for beginners too?
Yes, the brushing helps mask small imperfections in stitches, making the final work more uniform. It's an excellent choice for those starting out, offering professional results even with simple techniques.
How can I be sure to purchase balls from the same color batch?
Tessiland is the only e-commerce that shows color batches directly on the site. Check the batch number before purchasing and buy all the balls needed for your project from the same batch to avoid color variations.
Can brushed yarn be dyed at home?
Acrylic doesn't easily absorb traditional dyes for natural fibers. If you wish to customize colors, it's preferable to choose from the shades available in the catalog rather than attempting home dyeing.
What's the difference between this yarn and mohair?
Visually the brushed effect recalls mohair's texture, but acrylic is easier to maintain, doesn't felt, costs less and is hypoallergenic. Mohair instead is a more delicate and expensive natural fiber.
Can I alternate this yarn with other smooth yarns in the same project?
Yes, combining brushed and smooth yarns creates interesting texture effects. Make sure they have the same weight and recommended yardage for needles/crochet to maintain uniform tension.
Can the yarn fray easily during working?
No, the acrylic structure is resistant and doesn't tend to fray. The brushing is well fixed on the yarn base and withstands working even with complex techniques.
Should I make a swatch before starting the project?
Yes, a swatch is always recommended. Work a 10x10 cm square with the recommended needles or crochet, wash and dry it as you will with the finished garment to check tension and the brushing effect.
Can I iron garments made with this yarn?
Not recommended. Acrylic can deform with the iron's direct heat. If necessary, use steam from a distance without touching the garment, or arrange the damp garment flat, gently reshaping it.
Where can I find patterns and tutorials for working this yarn?
Tessiland's assistance, composed of real people expert in yarns, can recommend suitable patterns and answer technical questions. Additionally, online you'll find numerous free tutorials for stitches that enhance brushed yarns.
