Wool Blend Yarn

When to choose it and why.

Why choose a wool blend instead of pure wool? But first: what is a wool blend?

Let's start with this question to embark on our journey into the world of knitting yarns. A wool blend refers to a yarn in which wool fiber is mixed with other fibers to add and alter its characteristics.

In this definition lies perhaps too much of the concept we want to express. Let's analyze further. The classic wool blend is commonly equated to a composition of wool and acrylic, but wool blends do not stop there. There are wool-cotton blends, wool-viscose blends, wool-alpaca blends, and we could continue the list almost indefinitely.

To make a quality wool blend yarn, one must analyze the composition in detail. Take, for example, one of the best-selling wool blends in Italy: the BabyKey: origin, length, portion of the shearing on the animal, etc., and the ensuing processing stages and the care with which they are carried out; from washing to sorting to carding to spinning and finally to dyeing and finishing are of the highest quality and all Made in Italy. This allows us to present a yarn produced directly by Tessiland at very competitive prices and with the utmost attention to quality.

Another feature of Tessiland's Wool Blends is their smoothness; indeed, during processing, our wool blends receive a steaming treatment that softens and preserves the fiber, and thanks to the meticulous packaging that is done yarn by yarn in an ultra-thin, low-impact ecological film that ensures the absence of external agents, thus making the product dust-free and reaching very high levels of quality while containing costs.

And for which crochet and knitting project is WOOL BLEND suitable?

Wool blends generally sit in the middle of an ideal scale where at the top we see pure merino wool, pure cashmere, and in general precious yarns, while at the bottom we see everyday yarns such as acrylic microfibers.

Those who choose a wool blend opt to combine the quality of wool with the characteristics of the fiber that makes up the alternative part to the wool. For example, a wool and acrylic blend will be chosen by those who want a quality product but with the durability of acrylic and its longevity, a certain steadfastness to washing, ease of processing, as well as the color ranges that are always quite extensive for basic products.

For proper maintenance?

In general, all quality yarns like those from Tessiland should be treated using a basic first precaution. Regardless of the advice on the band, we always recommend an initial hand wash in water at 30° with very little neutral soap. Remove the excess water without wringing (at most doing it gently and without mistreating the garment too much) but blotting with a towel. Once the excess water is removed, leave it to dry flat and away from heat sources. After these initial washes, the delicate washing programs of modern washing machines will allow you to keep your garments always perfect without much fuss.

You won't believe your eyes and you'll understand why buying Made in Italy!

Wool blend is a forge of proposals: are you looking for thick wool yarns? Well, in this category you will certainly find them and you can create your thick wool sweaters! If you don't tolerate pure wool, for example, or you don't want to try your hand at a mohair cashmere ball, then the wool blend is the right solution for you.

The beauty of seeing a yarn unwind and your creation grow and take shape is priceless; but just as engaging is the look of someone who receives wool yarns as a gift, and the wool blend is certainly the most popular in this sense, and to do so there's a simple and very fast way: The GIFT VOUCHER.

Wool Yarns - Wool Blends: Discover the Warmth of Tradition

In a market increasingly oriented towards the rediscovery of natural and sustainable materials, wool yarns represent not only a return to origins but also an opportunity to realize unique and personal projects. Let's explore the features and benefits of this material and how to choose the right one for our creations.

Characteristics and Benefits of Wool

What are the features and benefits of wool as a natural and sustainable material?

Wool is an insulating, breathable, and water-repellent material. It comes from a renewable source - the hair of animals - and when it is not treated with chemicals, it is completely biodegradable, making it an excellent eco-friendly choice.

Different Types of Wool

What are the differences between the various types of wool, such as merino, cashmere, alpaca, mohair?

Each type of wool has unique properties; merino is known for its softness and strength, cashmere for its luxuriousness and warmth, alpaca for its durability, and mohair for its luster and lightness.

Choosing the Right Wool Yarn

How do you choose the right wool yarn for your project, based on weight, needle size, and sample tension?

Choosing the right yarn is essential; you must consider the weight of the wool, which affects the size of the finished project, and the tension of the yarn, which determines the density of the knitted fabric. It is very indicative, therefore, to analyze the pattern or tutorial you are following and to evaluate the meters/weight ratio of the yarn with which the original project is made, and thus you will be able to get very close to the original yarn.

Storage and Care of Wool

How are wool yarns and garments made with them stored and washed?

Wool requires special care. Yarns should be stored in dry places away from moths. Finished garments should be washed with gentle cycles specifically for wool or by hand with neutral detergents.

Wool Processing Techniques

What are the basic techniques and stitches for knitting or crocheting wool yarns?

Learning basic techniques such as the knit stitch and purl stitch is the first step in working with wool, while advanced techniques may include cable knitting, jacquard or multi-color knitting.

Creativity with Wool Yarns

How can you combine wool yarns of different colors and thicknesses to create original effects?

Combining different yarns can bring unique projects to life. Mixing colors and thicknesses allows you to play with texture and shades, creating exclusive garments and home decor items.

Organization and Storage of Yarns

How can you store wool yarns to prevent them from getting tangled or damaged?

Using specific containers, such as boxes or wool bags, can help keep yarns tidy and protected from dust and wear.
