In the world of crochet and knitting yarns, we talk about Tape Yarn when referring to a knit ribbon made of textile fiber. This ribbon can be of different sizes and compositions, in cotton, viscose, and with lurex inserts. The Colored Cotton Tape Yarn is especially appreciated for the vibrancy it brings to handicrafts.
It is certain that Tape Yarn remains one of the most popular yarns for making quick-to-make and super fresh summer and mid-season garments. What to do with tape yarn? Tape yarn lends itself to thousands of crochet and knitting projects: from airy stitch cardigans in tape yarn to tape yarn T-shirts, from tape yarn placemats to Christmas gadgets in tape yarn, from tape yarn baskets to tape yarn balls for bags; in short, the limit is only the imagination but once tried it is impossible not to count it among one's favorite products. Knitting with cotton tape yarn represents an innovative and versatile technique in the field of knitting.
There are different types: solid-colored mixed cotton tape yarn like King for example, or the one with shades in cotton viscose and linen like Alma, there are sparkling types with lamé inserts like KingLux and structured ones like Korn. All these tape yarns are certainly for clothing and available in various sizes like 1 cm cotton tape yarn or 3 cm cotton tape yarn.
But can these tape yarns also be used to make bags? The answer is definitely yes. If you want a mixed cotton bag or with the characteristics of a clothing yarn it is absolutely possible and we have seen many examples of it. However, we should not confuse tape yarn for clothing with tape yarn for DIY bags. When talking about 1 kg bag tape yarn, it differs from the tape yarns for clothing and is closer to tagliatella tape yarn, which is ideal for those who want to create DIY tape yarn bags with a wider and more consistent ribbon, perfect for crochet bags and baskets.
There is also a Lycra tape yarn that Tessiland offers in the solid version as lycra light and in the shaded version as lycra print. These variants of tape yarn are extremely elastic and lend themselves beautifully to creations that require flexibility such as swimsuits, sports accessories, and dynamic clothing.
Moreover, for those looking for something truly unique, there are recycled tape yarns. These are made from recycled materials such as old T-shirts or other fabrics, contributing to a circular and sustainable economy. Recycled tape yarns are ideal for creating home decor items like rugs, cushions, and much more, bringing a touch of originality and ecological awareness.
For beginners who want to approach this world, there are multiple tutorials on how to work with tape yarn, available both in video format on platforms like YouTube, and in text or graphic format on specialized blogs and enthusiast sites. Knitting with tape yarn or crocheting can seem complex at first, but with the right advice, you can achieve surprising results.
Last but not least, it's important to remember that the quality of the tape yarn can vary significantly depending on the manufacturer. For this reason, it's always recommended to purchase from reliable sources such as Tessiland, which ensure a high-quality product that's also environmentally friendly. Whether it's elastic tape yarn for clothing or rigid tape yarn for accessories and decorations, the secret is to choose the right material for the project you have in mind.
With the right tape yarn, the only limit is your creativity!
