Technical analysis: what are you buying?

Oasis represents Italian excellence in the development of functional and visually innovative yarns. Its multi-strand structure and superwash treatment combine with carefully designed shades to create complex colour effects without the need to work with multiple strands. Let’s look in detail at the technical features that make this yarn ball a valuable choice for garments and accessories.

1. Fibre Composition and Quality

At the heart of Oasis is 75% superwash mulesing free virgin wool, chosen to ensure softness, natural warmth and respect for animal welfare. The superwash treatment modifies the surface of the wool fibres, making them machine washable without felting, an essential feature for garments intended for everyday use.

The remaining 25% of polyamide plays an essential structural role: it strengthens the yarn, improves abrasion resistance and significantly reduces pilling. This blend makes Oasis a versatile and durable yarn, able to keep its beauty and integrity even after many washes.

Its entirely Italian production ensures high quality standards at every stage, from the selection of raw materials to the multi-strand spinning process.

2. Shaded Effect and Multi-Strand Structure

The distinctive feature of Oasis lies in its multi-strand construction with carefully matched shades. Unlike solid-colour yarns, each yarn ball already contains colour variations within it that alternate automatically as you work.

This approach makes it possible to achieve a jacquard-like effect without the complexity of managing several yarn balls or colours at the same time. The transitions between tones add visual depth and movement to the fabric, creating unique, never-repetitive patterns.

The colour combinations developed by Tessiland are anything but ordinary: each colourway is the result of targeted research designed to surprise and enhance handmade work, making every project naturally original.

3. Performance and Pilling Resistance

The combination of superwash virgin wool and polyamide gives Oasis superior technical performance. The superwash treatment removes the surface scales of the wool that cause felting, ensuring dimensional stability even after repeated machine washing.

The presence of polyamide effectively counteracts the formation of pilling, those annoying little fibre balls that compromise the look of garments over time. This resistance translates into:

• Maintaining the original appearance even after prolonged use
• Greater durability of the finished garment
• Less need for extra maintenance

The yarn performs excellently both in knitting and crochet, with good stitch definition and a soft hand feel.

4. Recommended Uses and Projects

With 6-8 needles or a 5-7 crochet hook, Oasis creates a medium-weight fabric ideal for garments for transitional seasons or as mid-layers in winter. The yield of 115 metres per 50 grams allows you to plan the quantity needed with precision.

The yarn shows its best qualities in:

• Sweaters and pullovers: the shaded effect creates movement without the need for complex stitch patterns
• Cardigans and jackets: the sturdy structure supports well-shaped garments beautifully
• Little dresses: the softness of virgin wool ensures comfort against the skin
• Statement accessories: scarves, shawls and hats gain personality from the shading

Its colour versatility makes Oasis especially suitable for those who want eye-catching results with simple constructions, where the yarn itself becomes the aesthetic star of the project.

5. Transparency on Dye Lots and Tessiland Support

Tessiland is the only Italian e-commerce store to clearly indicate the dye lot number directly on the product page. For a shaded yarn like Oasis, this transparency is essential: it allows you to buy yarn balls from the same production batch, ensuring colour consistency across the entire project.

The shades may vary slightly between different lots because of the artisanal nature of the multi-strand dyeing process. Checking the lot before purchase allows you to:

• Complete complex projects without breaks in colour continuity
• Plan additional purchases with full awareness
• Avoid surprises on large yardages

If a lot is sold out, the Tessiland support team — made up of real people, not bots — is available to check alternative availability, suggest combinations or indicate restocking times. A service that truly makes a difference in managing your creative projects.

How to preserve your garments over time

Oasis combines the beauty of virgin wool with the practicality of superwash treatment, making it suitable for everyday life. To preserve its quality and durability over time, follow these simple care tips:

• Machine washing: use only the delicate wool cycle, at a maximum temperature of 30°C
• Neutral detergent: choose wool-specific detergents without harsh enzymes; absolutely avoid fabric softeners, which can weigh down the fibres
• Minimum spin: set a low spin speed (maximum 400-600 rpm) to remove excess water without stressing the fabric
• Natural drying: dry the garment flat on a level surface, away from direct heat sources and sunlight
• No tumble dryer: intense heat would compromise the superwash treatment and the yarn structure
• Gentle ironing: if needed, use a cool iron with a pressing cloth, avoiding excessive pressure on the shaded areas
