Cotton and Cotton Blend Yarns. Tessiland Cotton and Blends

Crochet Cotton

The range of crochet and knitting cottons is very wide, and it's worth doing a little analysis before proceeding with a purchase.

Pure Cotton

The 100% cotton is certainly synonymous with quality, but let's not take for granted that 100% means beautiful! There is pure Indian cotton which is very different from American cotton which in turn is different from Egyptian cotton or from Pima or Peru cotton. The organoleptic characteristics of the fiber are very different depending on the origin and the result is naturally different. Then there are the treatments that the cotton yarns undergo, so we have mercerized cotton, gassed cotton, and so on. Then there's the big eco-sustainable trend to keep an eye on: new yarns are being born with a very close to zero environmental impact such as the Drake by Tessiland, but the company is introducing new certified ecological and sustainable items every season at 100%!

When we have to choose a 100% cotton, the underlined details are not secondary and a good 100% cotton must have the minimum quality characteristics that make it one of the most important products in the world of crochet.

How to Choose Crochet Cotton

First of all, you start from the tool you want to use: a small, medium or large crochet hook to narrow down the search. The classic number 3 crochet cotton, which is worked with a crochet hook around 3 - 3.5, is certainly the most used and the Iggy by Tessiland is the best-selling online. This cotton is used for clothing, hats, blankets, in short, certainly the most versatile of the category.

If, however, we talk about thinner yarns to work with, well, you can choose from the Scottish threads which are divided by number: cotton number 5, cotton number 8, cotton number 12, cotton number 16 and cotton number 25. The lower the number, the thicker the thread: and we see that cotton n 5 is worked with crochet 1.5-2 while cotton n 25 with crochet less than number 1. Scottish threads are mostly used for home furnishings such as crochet curtains, crochet runners, crochet doilies, although the larger numbers are easily used for clothing.

There are also cotton and cotton blends that we could call hybrids like the cotton with lurex which Tessiland offers in a spool format, the famous HANDY.

Crochet Yarn

Let's delve into answering the many questions related to the best cotton for crochet. It's difficult to name just one, the choice will have to fall not only on the quality which we take for granted but also on the added value that an online shop can provide, and precisely to the question: crochet yarn online sales the answer can only be one: Tessiland! So to those who would ask: "where to buy crochet yarn" with always assorted colors, quality, and the right price (also keep an eye on the section Crochet Cotton offers) we will know what answer to give!

As mentioned, cotton yarns vary according to different characteristics, not least the origin, but in addition to the origin of the cotton tuft which is the cotton that wraps around the seeds of the plant and which after harvesting becomes the base for the fiber, it is also the place of processing. Tessiland processes its cottons in Italy unlike the vast majority of traders who, to compete with the prices of companies like Tessiland that produce and sell directly to the end customer, offer yarns processed in non-EU countries where prices are lower, but very often so is the quality.

How many types of cotton for crochet are there?

To this question one should answer: infinite. From the classic crochet cotton n 3 to the Scottish threads, one must add the ecological cotton, the organic cotton the perlé cotton the cotton mouliné for embroidery, the cabled cotton and the cordonnet.

Large cotton balls

Sometimes a larger cotton thread is needed and not necessarily a cord for bags. Tessiland has more than one article that meets this need. The quintessential thick cotton is the Hulk which as the name suggests is really the biggest of the cotton threads suitable for maxy cardigans and home furnishings where a very important texture is required. If you want to go down in size without reaching conventional cotton yarns, there is also the ecodonny another 100% cotton that those who know Tessiland are already very familiar with being an evergreen of the company.

Cotton balls for needles

All cottons are easily adaptable to both crochet and knitting, the only caution to keep in mind is that knitting needles, due to the type of work they allow, are not suitable for very rigid projects. That's why they are certainly great for clothing and accessories, but crochet is the prince of cotton doilies and therefore preferred for these creations.

Where to Buy Cotton Yarn Balls

The proposals for this type of yarn are truly numerous and all offers are valid, the preference should undoubtedly be given to the product and therefore the relationship of quality and price, but certainly for such a widespread item it is important to evaluate the service as well! Tessiland has the widest selection of cottons in Italy, always assorted and continuously evolving also in the number of colors, which for those who work on commission is an aspect of no secondary importance.

Other Types of Cotton

In addition to the classic 100% crochet cotton and the Scottish Thread in all its numbers, Tessiland always has a new special item every season. After the cotton viscose, they are considering an elasticized cotton that would accompany the yarn for crochet swimsuits like the Splash. A yarn that has become very popular for its elasticity and structure specifically designed for this particular use such as resistance to sea water, sun resistance, the speed with which the garment dries... in short, a top article in the sector of crochet swimwear.
