Technical analysis: what are you buying?
An in-depth analysis of the Edith wool blend yarn reveals the technical features that make it an excellent choice for versatile projects. From its balanced composition to its cost-effective yield, every detail is designed to meet the needs of those looking for quality, practicality, and comfort in a single yarn.
1. Yarn Composition and Structure
The Edith yarn features a composition of 25% Mulesing Free Merino Wool and 75% Top Quality Acrylic, with a twisted structure that ensures strength and stitch definition.
The Merino Wool comes from farms that respect animal welfare and are certified Mulesing Free, ensuring natural softness, breathability, and temperature-regulating properties. Merino fibers are known for their fineness and elasticity, characteristics that help reduce the risk of pilling and give the fabric an elegant appearance.
Top Quality Acrylic contributes with:
- Wear resistance: garments keep their shape and color even after many washes
- Dimensional stability: less shrinkage compared to pure wool, ideal for everyday garments
- Easy care: suitable for machine washing and tumble drying
- Color fastness: dyes bond firmly to the acrylic fiber, ensuring long-lasting brightness
The yarn twist adds compactness and definition, reducing the risk of splitting during crafting and improving stitch hold over time.
2. Tactile Qualities and Performance
The Edith yarn offers superior tactile comfort thanks to the presence of Merino Wool, which gives it a silky-soft feel while reducing the itchiness often associated with some yarns. The acrylic fiber enhances this feature, making the yarn suitable even for sensitive skin.
The thermal performance is well balanced: merino wool provides natural temperature regulation, keeping you warm in winter and comfortable during transitional seasons, while acrylic ensures lightness and breathability. This combination makes Edith ideal for:
- Sweaters and cardigans for autumn-winter
- Scarves, hats, and winter accessories
- Blankets and throws for the home
- Projects for children that require softness and washability
The pilling resistance is good thanks to the yarn twist and fiber quality. Higher-quality acrylic helps reduce the formation of surface pills, keeping the garment looking neat over time.
The yarn’s elasticity allows you to create fabrics that adapt to the body without losing shape, ideal for garments that need to maintain their original fit after wear.
3. Yield and Value for Money
With 300 meters per 100 grams, Edith offers an excellent yield that translates into savings and practicality for your projects.
This generous yardage allows you to:
- Make a women’s size M sweater with about 5-6 yarn balls
- Create a long scarf with 1-2 yarn balls
- Work a hat with a single yarn ball
- Complete a baby blanket (70x90 cm) with 4-5 yarn balls
The value for money is especially appealing considering:
- The presence of Mulesing Free Merino Wool, a premium and responsible fiber
- Top Quality Acrylic, which offers greater durability than standard acrylic fibers
- The generous yardage, reducing the number of yarn balls needed
- The transparency about the dye lot number guaranteed by Tessiland, which helps avoid color mismatches and waste
By choosing Tessiland, you can immediately check the available lot and, if needed, contact customer service to secure the quantity required from the same dye batch, optimizing your investment.
4. Recommended Crafting Methods and Techniques
The Edith yarn works beautifully across multiple techniques and crafting styles, with recommended needles 4-6 mm and crochet hook 3-5 mm.
For knitting:
- 4-4.5 mm needles: for compact, well-defined fabrics, ideal for cardigans, structured sweaters, and accessories that need to hold their shape
- 5-6 mm needles: for softer, more fluid fabrics, perfect for shawls, ponchos, and oversized garments
For crochet:
- 3-3.5 mm crochet hook: for projects with intricate stitches, amigurumi, and accessories that require firmness
- 4-5 mm crochet hook: for blankets, shawls, and airier garments with clear stitch definition
The yarn glides smoothly on both needles and crochet hooks thanks to its regular twist, making it easy to work with even for beginners. The twisted structure makes the strand easy to separate for corrections without fraying.
Especially suitable techniques:
- Stockinette stitch, ribbing, and cables for classic garments
- Lace stitches and decreases for shawls and stoles
- Dense crochet stitches for bags and structured accessories
- Granny squares and geometric motifs for patchwork blankets
5. Dye Lot Management and Informed Shopping
One of the most critical aspects when working on projects with multiple yarn balls is color consistency across dye lots. Tessiland stands out as the only e-commerce store that shows the dye lot/batch number available for sale directly on the product page, allowing you to shop with complete transparency.
Advantages of dye lot transparency:
- Avoid surprises: you know exactly which lot you are buying before completing your order
- Plan better: you can calculate the required quantity and check availability from the same lot
- Save time and money: no risk of having to repurchase yarn balls in slightly different shades
If the lot available for sale runs out during your project, Tessiland customer support is made up of real, experienced people who can:
- Check the availability of alternative lots in the warehouse
- Recommend strategies for mixing lots in the same project (for example by alternating yarn balls while working)
- Suggest techniques to minimize tonal differences between batches
Practical buying tips:
- Always buy one extra yarn ball beyond what you need for future finishing touches or repairs
- Write down the dye lot number and keep it with your project for future additions
- If you use different lots, alternate the yarn balls every 2 rows to blend any tonal differences
This attention to transparency confirms Tessiland’s commitment to ensuring the best shopping experience for those who knit and crochet with passion and professionalism.
How to keep your garments beautiful over time
Caring for garments made with Edith yarn is simple thanks to the presence of Top Quality Acrylic, which ensures practicality in everyday maintenance.
- Machine washing: maximum temperature 40°C, delicate or wool cycle. For the first washes, choose a gentle cycle to allow the fibers to settle
- Hand washing: recommended for the first wash or for particularly delicate garments. Use lukewarm water and mild detergent, avoiding rubbing
- Drying: possible in the tumble dryer on a delicate low-temperature program. Alternatively, dry the garment flat on a horizontal surface away from direct heat sources
- Ironing: if necessary, use a warm iron with a damp cloth in between, avoiding excessive pressure
- Storage: fold garments flat in a dry, ventilated place. Add natural moth repellents to protect the wool content
- Pilling removal: if surface pills appear, use a lint remover or a brush specifically designed for delicate fabrics

✨ Open Tessiland StudioFrequently asked questions
How many Edith yarn balls are needed to make a women’s sweater?
For a women’s size M sweater, you will generally need 5-6 yarn balls of 100g each (about 1500-1800 meters in total). For larger sizes or oversized designs, plan for 6-7 yarn balls. We always recommend checking the pattern for the project you want to make and buying one extra yarn ball for possible finishing touches or future repairs. The video tutorials linked on the product page provide accurate guidance for different projects.
Is Edith yarn suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Edith yarn is particularly suitable for sensitive skin thanks to the presence of Merino Wool, known for its fineness and softness, and Top Quality Acrylic, which enhances tactile comfort by reducing itchiness. The combination of these fibers creates a fabric that feels gentle and pleasant against the skin. However, if you have a specific wool allergy, always test your tolerance with a small sample first.
Can I machine wash garments made with Edith?
Yes, garments made with Edith yarn can be machine washed at a maximum temperature of 40°C, using a delicate or wool cycle. Thanks to the 75% Top Quality Acrylic content, the yarn maintains dimensional stability and washing resistance. For the first wash, we recommend a gentle cycle or hand washing to allow the fibers to settle. Tumble drying is also possible on a delicate low-temperature setting.
Does Edith yarn develop pills after use?
Edith yarn has good resistance to pilling thanks to its twisted structure and the superior quality of the acrylic fibers used. High-quality Merino Wool and Top Quality Acrylic significantly reduce the formation of surface pills compared to standard blended yarns. If slight pilling appears after the first uses, simply remove the pills with a fabric shaver to keep the garment looking neat.
What does Mulesing Free mean and why is it important?
Mulesing Free means that the Merino Wool used in the yarn comes from farms that do not practice mulesing, a painful procedure used in some countries to prevent parasitic infections in sheep. The Mulesing Free certification guarantees respect for animal welfare and represents an ethical and more responsible choice. By choosing Edith, you support responsible farming practices without giving up the quality of a premium fiber.
Can I use Edith for baby and children’s projects?
Absolutely yes. Edith yarn is ideal for baby and children’s projects thanks to its softness, the Merino Wool content that provides natural comfort, and the easy-care properties guaranteed by Top Quality Acrylic. You can make blankets, rompers, hats, and garments that can be washed frequently in the machine without losing shape or color. The softness of the yarn makes it gentle on little ones’ sensitive skin.
How can I be sure to buy yarn balls from the same dye lot?
Tessiland is the only e-commerce store that shows the dye lot/batch number available for sale directly on the product page. Before buying, you can check which lot is available and calculate the quantity needed for your project. If that lot runs out while you are working, contact customer service, made up of real and experienced people, who can check the availability of alternative lots or suggest strategies for handling any slight tonal differences.
Is Edith suitable for crochet as well as knitting?
Yes, Edith yarn is perfectly suited to both knitting (4-6 mm) and crochet (3-5 mm). The twisted structure helps it glide smoothly on the crochet hook and allows for well-defined stitches. It is ideal for granny square blankets, lace shawls, amigurumi, bags, and accessories. Its generous yield of 300 meters per 100 grams also makes it budget-friendly for larger crochet projects.
Is the Edith yarn color stable over time and after washing?
Yes, the color fastness of Edith yarn is excellent thanks to the presence of Top Quality Acrylic, which holds dyes in a stable and durable way. Garments made with Edith keep their color brightness even after many washes at 40°C in the washing machine. To preserve the color as much as possible over time, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while drying and use gentle detergents without optical brighteners.
Can I alternate yarn balls from different dye lots if I cannot find the same one?
If you need to use yarn balls from different dye lots, you can minimize tonal differences by alternating the yarn balls every 2 rows (or every 2 rounds in crochet). This technique, known as striping, gradually blends possible shade variations, creating a uniform marled effect instead of clear stripes. However, thanks to Tessiland’s transparency about dye lot numbers, you can plan your purchase in advance and contact customer service to check availability of the same dye batch before starting larger projects.
Is Edith a yarn suitable for all seasons?
Edith yarn is especially suitable for autumn-winter thanks to the Merino Wool content, which provides natural warmth and temperature regulation. However, the 75% Top Quality Acrylic content makes it lighter than pure wool, allowing it to be used in transitional seasons as well for garments such as light cardigans, shawls, and accessories. For summer, we recommend choosing cooler, more breathable cotton or linen yarns available in the Tessiland catalog.
How elastic is Edith yarn after working it up?
Edith yarn offers good elasticity thanks to the presence of Merino Wool, which naturally gives the fiber elastic memory. Finished garments keep their original shape without stretching out excessively during wear, a feature especially appreciated in sweaters, cardigans, and accessories that need to adapt to the body. The twisted structure of the yarn also helps maintain stitch tension over time, ensuring a consistent fit even after frequent use and washing.
