Technical analysis: what are you buying?
The Wanda yarn stands out for its exclusive multifiber composition that balances technical and aesthetic properties. Let’s take a closer look at the features that make this yarn ideal for glamorous and long-lasting creations.
1. Fiber composition and properties
The exclusive blend of six different fibers gives Wanda a unique balance of softness, strength and shine:
- Cotton 49%: breathable natural fiber that ensures freshness, moisture absorption and resistance to repeated washing
- Wool 7%: adds warmth, natural elasticity and thermoregulating properties, improving the fit of the garment
- Acrylic 18%: synthetic fiber that increases wear resistance, reduces the risk of felting and makes care easier
- Polyamide 15%: reinforces the yarn structure, improves tensile strength and extends the life of the garment
- Viscose 6%: adds natural shine, silky softness and fluid drape
- Metallized fiber 5%: creates the sparkling glamour effect, ideal for elegant garments and refined accessories
This synergy of natural and synthetic fibers creates a versatile and high-performing yarn, suitable for both winter projects and mid-season creations.
2. Technical features and yarn yield
With 75 meters per 50 grams, Wanda offers an ideal yield for medium to large projects such as cardigans, sweaters and voluminous accessories. The yarn structure ensures:
- Dimensional stability: the presence of acrylic and polyamide reduces the risk of deformation after washing
- Controlled elasticity: wool and synthetic fibers help the garment recover its original shape
- Even texture: the balanced twist of the fibers creates a smooth and uniform surface
- Medium weight: ideal for structured garments that hold their shape without feeling heavy
The transparency of Tessiland’s dye lot information allows you to check the available lot immediately, avoiding unexpected color differences. If the lot sells out, customer service with real people will help you find the best solution to complete your project.
3. Recommended crafting and final texture
Wanda works beautifully with needles 5-6 or crochet hook 6-7, producing soft fabrics with an elegant drape. Recommended techniques include:
- Stockinette stitch: highlights the shine of the metallized fiber and creates smooth, even surfaces
- Rib stitch: takes advantage of the natural elasticity for edges, cuffs and necklines that keep their shape
- Lace stitches: ideal for shawls and stoles where the brightness of the lurex enhances decorative patterns
- Crochet: perfect for bags, clutches and structured accessories that require body and consistency
The evenly distributed metallized fiber creates a subtle shimmering effect, especially visible under direct light. The yarn glides smoothly on needles and crochet hooks, making it easy to work with even for those with less experience using blended yarns.
4. Ideal applications and recommended projects
Wanda’s aesthetic and technical features make it perfect for:
- Outerwear knitwear: cardigans, sweaters, pullovers and jackets with real visual impact
- Glamour accessories: shawls, stoles, scarves and cowls that elevate any outfit
- Bags and clutches: the yarn structure holds its shape and adds elegance
- Eveningwear pieces: tops, boleros and shrugs for special occasions
- Home décor accessories: decorative cushions, lightweight blankets and table runners with a refined touch
Thanks to its well-balanced composition, Wanda is suitable for garments that need both everyday comfort and aesthetic impact. The natural fibers ensure breathability, while the synthetic ones provide durability and easy care.

How to preserve your garments over time
Multifiber yarns like Wanda require specific care to preserve softness, color and structure over time.
- First washes by hand: use lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) and a gentle wool detergent, avoiding vigorous rubbing
- Machine washing: after the first washes, use a delicate wool cycle with reduced spin and a specific detergent
- Dry flat: remove excess water without wringing, then lay the garment flat on a horizontal surface away from direct heat sources
- Protected ironing: place a damp cloth between the iron and the garment, maximum temperature 110°C, avoid direct ironing on the metallized fiber
- Storage: keep in a dry, airy place, preferably folded to avoid distortion caused by hanging
- Stain treatment: in case of stains, act immediately by blotting with a damp cloth, avoid aggressive solvents

✨ Open Tessiland StudioFrequently asked questions
How many balls of Wanda are needed for a women’s size M cardigan?
For a women’s size M cardigan with long sleeves, you will need approximately 10-12 balls of 50g each, for a total of 500-600 grams. The quantity varies depending on the pattern, length and desired fit. Check the video tutorials included for accurate estimates on specific projects.
Is Wanda yarn suitable for crochet projects?
Yes, Wanda is excellent for crochet work with the recommended hook sizes 6-7. Its multifiber structure provides body and stitch definition, making it ideal for bags, clutches, lace shawls and structured accessories that require dimensional stability.
Can the metallized fiber irritate sensitive skin?
The 5% metallized fiber is evenly distributed and integrated into the yarn structure. Thanks to the predominant presence of cotton (49%) and wool (7%), direct contact with the skin is softened by natural fibers. In the case of very sensitive skin, it is recommended to make outerwear garments or pieces with an inner lining.
How can I be sure I am buying balls from the same dye lot?
Tessiland is the only e-commerce store that shows the dye lot number directly on the product page. Always check this information before purchasing. If the lot sells out during your project, contact the customer service team with real people, who will help you find the best solution.
Does Wanda yarn tend to pill after washing?
The presence of acrylic (18%) and polyamide (15%) significantly reduces the tendency to pill compared to 100% natural yarns. To minimize this further, follow the washing instructions, avoid rubbing during washing and use delicate cycles with reduced spin.
Can I machine wash a garment made with Wanda from the very first wash?
It is recommended to do the first 2-3 washes by hand to allow the fibers to settle and the fabric to stabilize. Afterwards, you can switch to machine washing using a delicate wool cycle, maximum temperature 30°C and a specific detergent.
Does the metallized fiber keep its shine after washing?
Yes, if you follow the care instructions correctly. Avoid high temperatures, harsh detergents and tumble drying. Ironing should be done with a protective cloth to preserve the integrity of the metallized fiber and maintain its shine over time.
Is Wanda suitable for projects intended for children?
Thanks to the presence of cotton (49%) and wool (7%), Wanda is soft and comfortable. However, the metallized fiber makes it more suitable for accessories such as scarves, hats and bags rather than garments in direct contact with delicate newborn skin. For older children, it is perfect for outer cardigans and pullovers.
What gauge swatch should I make before starting a project with Wanda?
Make a 10x10 cm swatch using the recommended needles or crochet hook (needles 5-6, crochet hook 6-7), working in the stitch pattern planned for your project. Wash and dry the swatch following the care instructions, then measure it again to check for any dimensional changes and correctly calculate the number of balls needed.
Is Wanda yarn available in solid colors or also in shaded tones?
For detailed information about the available color palette, check the color options on the product page. Tessiland constantly updates availability and shows the dye lot on sale, ensuring maximum transparency for your purchases.
Can I combine Wanda with other yarns to create special effects?
Yes, Wanda works well in combined projects with yarns of a similar weight. You can pair it with smooth cottons to create texture contrasts, or with mohair to increase volume and softness. Always check the compatibility of needle/crochet hook sizes and make a swatch to evaluate the final effect.
Where can I find patterns and tutorials for working with Wanda yarn?
Check the video tutorials attached to the product page, which show specific projects made with Wanda. In addition, Tessiland’s blog and inspiration section offer free patterns and creative ideas to make the most of the features of this glamour yarn.
