It all starts with high-quality workable cord

Tessiland began distributing THAI in Italy, and today it's the shop with the most options in the field! DIRECTLY FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO THE CONSUMER!

Which cord to choose? Thai, Swan, Italian cord? Let's clarify!

The choice of a cord for crocheting bags should definitely start with our skills and the project we want to create:

If you're a crochet beginner and would like to start making crocheted bags, great! Your choice should fall on a product that is particularly soft to work with but has some consistency at the end of the work! Which one? Well: THAI SUBLIME, of course! It comes in solid colors guaranteed in stock throughout the season, and there's also THAI SUBLIME SFUMATO, and even THAI SUBLIME LUX with lamé insert for the chicest bags.

But there are many other options that develop based on the properties of the cord and the item we want to create:

• The thickest cord of all, suitable for maxy bags, for example, or baskets, but also perfect for rugs and accessories: SUPERTHAI
• The smallest cord of all: a cord for small bags with structured stitches such as the popcorn stitch, where the fineness of the cord will highlight the stitch structure: THAI SKINNY
• The versatile cord, smaller than Thai Sublime but larger than Thai Skinny, is THAI SLIM. A cord that aims to be a pass par tout for creative projects: suitable for both home decor and favors, as well as crocheted bags, also available in a shaded version.
• And if you need a cord, for example, to make many favors in series where color continuity isn't necessary? The more economical cord with a touch of lurex: THAI LUREX. This is one of the most appreciated Italian cords produced by Tessiland. In many variants, it has an unbeatable quality-price ratio, considering that, as a disadvantage, the batches change very quickly as it is one of the best-selling products, and with each batch change, the colors can differ significantly from the previous catalog.
• The cord similar to a rat tail but more economical and still Made in Italy: ROWEN. When you want the effect of a rat tail but need an economical product. It comes in many colors and is 100% Made in Italy like all the others!
• The cotton blend cord for macramé and more: TERNES. The largest cotton blend cord in the current collection, used for shabby-style bags, but also extensively used for macramé curtains and accessories, cushions and rugs for those looking for a more country-style, as the Ternes is matte unlike polypropylene cords.
• The thinner cotton blend cord for more intricate work: TORNADO. The younger sibling of TERNES, the only difference is the slightly thinner thickness of Ternes for those who aim to create something more intricate or simply finer with these cottons.
• The woolen cord for winter bags or simply more BOHO CHIC: FREDDY. The simplest and most suitable solution for winter accessories. Thanks to its construction, it won't get ruined like a bag made of "spun wool". The ideal solution for those who want to create winter bags with professionalism.
• The elastic tubular cord: CHOBIN. A real revolution, the elastic tubular cord. Often used for creating artistic compositions since it's tubular, we can, for example, insert a plastic or metal tube inside the cord to shape tree branches, leaves, and any design that comes to mind! A great bet... won!
• Juta is much softer than others on the market and comes in spools for making bags and home decor items. Many colors are always available, and a search for softness that allows exceptional workability. Unbeatable compared to the old, annoying 40-gram skeins on the market.
• Extremely refined ribbon for a different category of bags: PANDORO QUEEN. A ribbon that is extremely elegant in appearance and very workable in weaving. It is mainly used for making crocheted bags that require a flat ribbon rather than the classic cylindrical shape.
• TAGLIATELLA ribbon for larger projects. Compared to Pandoro Queen, it is much wider, also hollow inside and therefore suitable for use as a covering for straws and wire for artistic installations. It is mainly used for making baskets and mats, cushions, and bags, but it is also suitable for making accessories.
• Lycra ribbon. Tessiland is the only shop in Italy with such a variety of Lycra for bags. It was widely used until a few years ago for crocheted bag creation, but with the advent of cords, it fell out of use because people were used to having a very heavy and unsuitable product for crocheting on the market. Tessiland has made it a product tailored for crocheted bags. Its very low specific weight allows you to make medium-sized bags with only a few hundred grams of product. Often used for baby cribs or rugs, Tessiland's Lycra stands out and offers a wide range of quantities and colors.
• Lycra ribbon for bags, rugs, and home decor: LYCRA PRINT. The same applies to solid-colored Lycra, but this time with a touch of color to customize your creations even more.
• Lycra ribbon with a spectacular laminated effect: LYCRA LUX. WE HAVE IT ONLY! A lycra for slightly more elegant clutches without sacrificing the workability of Lycra: A MUST TRY!
• Tulle ribbon on spools ready for making bags and more. Certified for food use, for example, to be used for making favors. Your sugared almonds can come into contact with a product that is certified for food use and naturally 100% Made in Italy.
• Spools of natural RAFIA and RAFIA MATT for making crocheted bags, hats, and home decor creations. The Rafia section is constantly evolving and is usually used for beach bags, beach hats, bag fringes, home decor

But what about SWAN? NO MORE BAGS!!!

Tessiland no longer deals with certain types of imported cords, having all production in-house to better meet our customers' needs. Tired of the repeated difficulties with the use of old SWAN cord bags, we have opted for 100% Made in ITALY and direct from the manufacturer to the consumer! PRICE AND QUALITY GUARANTEE.
