Ternes is a cord designed for those looking for versatility, quality and professional results. Let’s take a closer look at the technical features that make this yarn unique, perfect for both fashion creations and home décor projects.
1. What are the features of Ternes cord?
Ternes stands out for its circular look and matte surface, features that give creations a natural and elegant effect, perfect for shabby chic style. Its cotton blend composition ensures both strength and softness, making the yarn pleasant to work with and comfortable to the touch.
With a 3-millimetre diameter, this cord offers the ideal body for structured projects that require firmness and stability. The 200-gram cone contains around 120 metres of yarn, a generous amount that allows you to create medium-to-large projects without needing numerous balls.
The weight-to-length ratio has been designed to offer an excellent balance between ease of use and final performance. As a 100% Made in Italy product distributed exclusively by Tessiland, Ternes represents a guarantee of controlled quality and continuity of supply, an essential factor for anyone working on commission or wishing to recreate projects over time.
2. How do you work with Ternes cord?
Working with Ternes is surprisingly quick and rewarding. Thanks to its 3 mm diameter, it is recommended to use size 8 or 9 knitting needles for knitted work, or a size 7 or 8 crochet hook for crochet projects.
The consistency of the cord makes it possible to achieve visible results after just a few rows, a motivating feature especially for those who like to see quick progress in their work. The matte surface makes the stitch definition clear and even, perfect for projects that require visual precision such as openwork stitches or elaborate textures.
For macramé projects, Ternes works beautifully thanks to its circular structure, which helps create uniform, well-defined decorative knots. The yarn’s consistency ensures that the knots keep their shape over time without loosening.
Practical tips:
- For structured bags and accessories, work with dense stitches that make the most of the cord’s firmness
- For macramé projects, take advantage of the cone’s generous length to avoid joins in the most visible areas

Care: How to preserve your creations over time
Ternes is a durable cord that, with the right care, keeps its beauty and characteristics over time. Here are some practical tips for caring for your creations:

- Natural drying: lay creations flat on a level surface, away from direct heat sources, to maintain their original shape
- Ironing not recommended: Ternes’ natural look does not require ironing; if needed, use steam from a distance
- Proper storage: keep bags and accessories in dry places, away from direct light to preserve the colours
- Plant hanger cleaning: for outdoor projects, dust regularly and, if needed, clean with a damp cloth
- Placemat care: for runners and charger plates, shake after use and wash when necessary following the instructions above

✨ TESSILAND STUDIOFrequently Asked Questions
How much Ternes do I need to make a bag?
The amount needed depends on the size and style of the bag. For a medium-sized bag (around 30x35 cm), you generally need 3-4 cones of 200g. For a larger shopping bag, you may need 5-6 cones, while 1-2 cones are enough for a pouch. The video tutorials included on the product page provide precise guidance for specific projects. Remember that buying cones from the same colour lot ensures perfect colour consistency.
Is Ternes suitable for macramé projects?
Absolutely yes! Ternes is perfect for macramé thanks to its circular structure, which helps create uniform, well-defined knots. The 3 mm diameter offers the ideal consistency for plant hangers, decorative wall hangings and other projects that require strong knots. The matte surface gives macramé creations a natural and elegant look, perfect for boho-chic and shabby style.
Can I wash bags made with Ternes?
Yes, bags made with Ternes can be washed with a few precautions. Hand washing in lukewarm water with a gentle detergent is the best choice to preserve shape and colour. If you use a washing machine, choose a delicate 30°C cycle and place the bag in a protective mesh laundry bag. Always dry flat on a level surface, never in a tumble dryer, to avoid deformation.
Are Ternes colours always available?
Tessiland maintains a continuous assortment of the main colours in the Ternes range to ensure that projects can be completed or made to order. However, since this is a Made in Italy product with batch production, some shades may temporarily sell out. In these cases, our support team (real people, not bots) can help you find alternative solutions or inform you about restocking times.
What is the difference between Ternes and other cords?
Ternes stands out because it is 100% Made in Italy, designed and produced exclusively by Tessiland. Its main feature is its circular matte look, which gives creations a natural and elegant effect, perfect for shabby chic style. Unlike cheaper cords, Ternes offers controlled quality, a wide colour range that is constantly updated, and the guarantee of continuity of supply.
Is Ternes suitable for placemats and table runners?
Certainly! Ternes is perfect for home décor projects such as placemats, table runners and charger plates. Its consistency guarantees structure and durability, while the matte look adds a natural and elegant touch to the table setting. With 120 metres per cone, you have enough yarn to create complete coordinated sets. Work with dense stitches for extra durability or combine solid and openwork stitches for decorative effects.
Can I make rugs with Ternes?
Yes, Ternes is also suitable for rugs and bedside mats in small to medium sizes. The 3 mm diameter and cotton blend composition provide the durability needed for floor use. For larger rugs, keep in mind that many cones are required: estimate around 10-15 cones for a 60x90 cm rug, depending on the density of the stitch used. The matte finish makes these rugs perfect for natural and shabby chic styles.
How can I be sure that the balls are from the same colour lot?
Tessiland is the only e-commerce store that shows the colour lot number directly on the product page. This allows you to buy with certainty balls from the same production run, avoiding colour differences in your projects. If the displayed lot sells out before you complete your purchase, our support team is available to help you find solutions, such as strategically mixing lots or waiting for new production runs.
Is Ternes suitable for beginners?
Yes, Ternes is excellent for beginners too. The 3 mm diameter allows you to work quickly and see rewarding results in a short time, which is very motivating for those just getting started. The consistency of the cord makes it easier to maintain even tension, and the matte surface highlights the stitches, making learning easier. Start with simple projects such as coasters or small baskets before moving on to structured bags.
Can I dye Ternes at home?
Since it is a cotton blend, Ternes could theoretically be dyed, but we do not recommend this practice for several reasons. Home dyeing could alter the structure of the yarn, compromise its durability and produce uneven results. In addition, the wide colour range available rarely makes dyeing necessary. If you are looking for a particular shade that is not currently in the assortment, contact our team: we may have new arrivals coming soon or suggest alternatives.
How long does it take to make a bag with Ternes?
The time required depends on your skill level, the complexity of the pattern and the time you can dedicate to the project. Thanks to its substantial 3 mm diameter, Ternes works up faster than thin yarns. An experienced crafter can complete a medium-sized bag in 15-20 hours of work, while someone with less experience may need 25-30 hours. The satisfaction of seeing the project grow quickly makes every moment enjoyable.
Can Ternes be used with knitting needles as well as crochet?
Certainly! Ternes is versatile and can be worked both with crochet hook (size 7-8) and with knitting needles (size 8-9). With knitting needles, it is perfect for creating structured scarves, decorative cushions, lightweight blankets and other projects that require body and stitch definition. The cord’s circular look makes every project even and well-defined, whether knitted or crocheted, allowing you to choose the technique you prefer.
