BIG CORD 500 g

500 g bobbin cord .

Ideal for making bags and other crocheted accessories.

YARN CHARACTERISTICS:

The composition of the yarn makes it shiny and brightly coloured, it is a flattened tubular measuring 6 mm, the material is not very elastic.

The structure of the yarn is thicker than that of a simple cord, but the projects created will not be heavy or bulky.

The large cord feels soft and smooth during processing.

HOW TO USE:

The yarn par excellence for making crochet bags.

What characteristics does a bag made of large cord acquire?

Do you want a rigid and well-structured bag? Do you want to make a pattern with a compact yarn?

The little elasticity of the yarn makes the bag rather rigid, the project will not have the same characteristics as one made with wool or cotton and will in fact be rigid and well structured.

It is suitable for more rigid processes but the processing will not be tiring and complex because, since it is a very thick cord, it will acquire many characteristics of the webbing without however being full and heavy like the latter.

Stitches to use: it is a yarn that is perfect for creating elaborate stitches, we prefer various types of stitches such as leaf stitch or puff stitch.

YARN COMPOSITION:

Made of 100% polypropylene, a plastic fiber with a very light structure, it has multiple uses and although a synthetic fiber may be, it pollutes less than many natural fibres.

RECOMMENDED CROCHET HOOK: 5/6 MM

Can I make a bag with just one spool of big cord? Yes, with a 500 gram spool you can make medium-sized bags.
We have created some crochet bag models such as the Amanda Bag, Tatiana Bag and the Dalia Bag, look for them
on our YouTube channel to see them.

Given the thickness of the yarn, is it easy to work with? The yarn is thicker than a simple string but the quality of the component makes it smooth, soft and very easy to work with.

What is the difference between the big and Pandorino cord? The Big Cordino is a cord and as such is resistant and not very elastic, while the Pandorino is a ribbon, this too has a flattened tubular shape but, unlike the first, it is soft and very elastic.

The yarn is made of 100% polypropylene , a fibre
plastic with a very light structure. This component has multiple uses
Even though it may be a synthetic fibre, it pollutes less than many fibres
natural.

If you think that only natural fibers, because they are produced by nature, are ecological and sustainable, you are very wrong. To evaluate the sustainability of a material, you need to evaluate many production aspects and retrace the entire life cycle of the yarn.

For example, intensive cultivation of cotton yarn can cause a large waste of water while the excessive use of pesticides heavily pollutes the environment.

The production of polypropylene yarns compared to other synthetic fibres requires very low temperatures and the use of a reduced quantity of water. The materials obtained are completely recyclable and
they will therefore be able to become part of a circular economy process.
