Technical analysis: what are you buying?
Tina Yarn combines technical features designed to guarantee ease of use, a modern aesthetic result and comfort in use. The blended composition balances natural warmth and durability, while the print effect adds personality to every project.
1. Composition and Performance of Tina Yarn
Tina’s three-component composition is designed to offer the best of natural and synthetic fibres. 43% wool provides warmth, breathability and natural thermal comfort, ideal for winter garments and accessories. 50% acrylic improves resistance to wear, makes care easier and helps the piece keep its shape over time, reducing the risk of felting. 7% polyamide strengthens the overall structure, increasing durability and helping prevent fuzz formation.
This combination offers an excellent value for money: you get the softness and warmth of wool with the practicality of synthetic fibres. With 90 metres per 50 grams, Tina offers good yardage for medium-sized projects, allowing you to make complete accessories or contribute to more structured garments with a limited number of yarn balls.
2. Print Effect: Effortless Visual Uniqueness
The true distinctive feature of Tina Yarn is the printed yarn insert that creates a modern and dynamic print effect. Unlike solid-colour yarns, Tina features changing shades and patterns that develop naturally while you work, making every project visually unique.
This effect is especially suitable for:
- Cardigans and outer knitwear: the colour changes enhance simple stitches such as stockinette stitch or garter stitch
- Elegant blankets: the printed effect adds visual depth without requiring complex techniques
- Coordinated accessories: scarves, hats and bags gain instant personality
Tina’s harmonious colour result allows you to create eye-catching projects even with basic techniques, perfect for those who want professional-looking results with accessible skills.
3. Ease of Working and Recommended Tools
Tina is designed to simplify the creative experience. Its cohesive structure prevents the strands from splitting during work, a common issue with some blended yarns that can be frustrating especially for less experienced makers. This feature makes Tina ideal for beginners who want to approach winter projects without technical difficulties.
For the best results:
- Use size 6 knitting needles for knitting projects
- Use a size 6 crochet hook for crochet projects
- Keep a soft hand while working to enhance the natural airy effect
- Avoid pulling the yarn too tightly to preserve softness and drape
The reference swatches provided by Tessiland (20 rows x 12 stitches with knitting needles in stockinette stitch, 13 rows x 13 stitches with crochet hook in single crochet) are valuable tools for planning the quantity and final dimensions of your projects accurately.
4. Dye Lot Transparency: The Tessiland Advantage
With print-effect yarns like Tina, colour consistency between yarn balls is essential to ensure uniformity in the finished project. Tessiland is the only e-commerce store that shows the dye lot/batch number directly on the product page, allowing you to immediately check the availability of yarn balls from the same dye lot.
This level of transparency allows you to:
- Buy the quantity you need for your project with confidence
- Avoid visible colour differences between different lots
- Plan any future purchases more knowingly
If a lot is sold out, Tessiland customer service with real people (not bots) is available to help you find alternatives or check new availability, ensuring practical and personalised support.
5. Ideal Projects and Creative Results
Tina Yarn excels in projects that highlight its print effect and natural softness. Thanks to its 90 metres per 50 grams yield and the recommended use with size 6 knitting needles or crochet hook, it is particularly suitable for:
- Sweaters and cardigans: the printed effect creates visual movement even with basic stitches
- Autumn and winter blankets: softness and warmth for cosy projects
- Scarves and cowls: quick accessories with great visual impact
- Beanies and hats: the natural volume adds structure without heaviness
- Bags and accessories: polyamide durability and pattern originality
Its voluminous look and airy texture make Tina perfect for quick-to-make projects, where a few yarn balls produce satisfying results in less time. The combination of natural warmth and practicality makes it an excellent choice for the cold season.
How to preserve your garments over time
To preserve the beauty and softness of Tina Yarn over time, follow these simple care tips:
- Carry out the first 2-3 washes by hand with lukewarm water and gentle detergent to allow the work to settle
- Afterwards you can proceed with machine washing at 30°C on a delicate cycle
- Use specific detergents for delicate garments or wool, avoiding harsh products
- Avoid high-speed spinning: choose delicate programmes or gently squeeze by hand without twisting
- Dry flat on a level surface, away from direct heat sources
- Do not use a tumble dryer to preserve shape and softness
- If needed, iron at low temperature with a pressing cloth

✨ Open Tessiland StudioFrequently Asked Questions
Is Tina Yarn suitable for those with little experience using knitting needles and crochet hooks?
Absolutely yes. Tina’s cohesive structure prevents the strands from splitting during work, a feature that makes it especially suitable for beginners. You can focus on learning the basic stitches without technical frustration caused by the yarn itself.
How many yarn balls are needed for a women’s size M sweater?
For a women’s size M long-sleeved sweater, you will need approximately 12-14 yarn balls, depending on the style and desired length. We recommend making a 10x10 cm swatch following the directions (20 rows x 12 stitches with knitting needles) to calculate the exact quantity needed for your specific project.
Is the print effect the same on all yarn balls of the same colour?
The print effect comes from a printed insert that naturally varies between yarn balls, even within the same lot. This feature makes every creation unique. To ensure overall colour consistency, Tessiland shows the lot number directly on the product page, allowing you to buy yarn balls from the same dye lot.
Can I use Tina for summer projects?
Tina is mainly intended for autumn and winter projects thanks to the presence of 43% wool, which provides warmth. For summer projects, we recommend choosing cotton, linen or viscose yarns available in the Tessiland catalogue.
How can I check that I have yarn balls from the same dye lot?
Tessiland is the only e-commerce store that shows the dye lot/batch number directly on the product page. Check this information before purchase. If the lot you see is sold out and you need more, contact customer service: real people (not bots) will help you find solutions.
Does Tina tend to develop fuzz with use?
The presence of 7% polyamide in the composition significantly reduces the tendency to form fuzz. The 50% acrylic also helps keep the surface smooth over time. With proper care, your projects will maintain a neat appearance even after frequent use.
What is the difference between working Tina with knitting needles or with a crochet hook?
Both techniques work very well with Tina. With knitting needles, you get a softer drape, ideal for sweaters and cardigans. With a crochet hook, the fabric is more structured and compact, perfect for bags, hats and accessories that require more body. In both cases, use size 6 tools.
Can I machine wash it right away?
We recommend doing the first 2-3 washes by hand to allow the work to settle. Afterwards, you can machine wash it at 30°C on a delicate cycle with a specific detergent, preserving softness and shape over time.
Is Tina suitable for baby blankets?
Yes, Tina is suitable for elegant blankets thanks to its softness. However, for babies, keep in mind that it contains wool and synthetic fibres: check for any individual sensitivities. For blankets intended for direct contact with delicate skin, consider 100% cotton yarns available on Tessiland.
What does working with a "soft hand" mean?
Working with a soft hand means keeping light tension on the yarn while working, avoiding pulling it too tightly. This approach enhances Tina’s natural airy effect, ensuring a softer, better-draped and more comfortable finished result.
Are 10x10 swatches mandatory before starting a project?
Even though they are not mandatory, swatches are strongly recommended for projects that require precise measurements, such as sweaters or cardigans. Making a 10x10 cm swatch lets you calculate exactly how many yarn balls you need and check that your tension matches the directions, avoiding surprises when the project is finished.
Can I combine Tina with other yarns?
Yes, Tina works well in creative mixed projects. You can pair it with solid-colour yarns of the same yardage to create stripe effects or colour blocks. Check that the other yarns have compatible washing properties and use the same tools (size 6 knitting needles or crochet hook) to maintain even tension.
