🧵 The yarn
The SWAN MONDIAL Cordino is a durable shiny cord made of 100% polyester microfiber, specifically designed for those who want to create bags and baskets that hold their shape over time. Its main feature is the shiny finish that gives accessories a modern and elegant look, perfect for both casual projects and more refined creations.
Each 300-gram skein offers approximately 220 meters of cord, a generous amount that allows you to complete a medium-sized bag with a single skein. It is worked with a 3.5-4mm crochet hook or 4-4.5mm needles, and is particularly appreciated for its smooth working properties.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 100% polyester microfiber was chosen for this cord because it offers a unique combination of strength and shine. Unlike cotton, polyester does not deform with use, does not absorb moisture, and maintains its original shape even after months of daily use. The cord's structure is highly twisted, meaning that the fibers are tightly intertwined, creating a compact and tension-resistant yarn.
The microfiber gives the cord its characteristic shiny finish that sets it apart from matte cords. This shine is not just aesthetic: it makes the cord smoother on the crochet hook, facilitating working and reducing hand fatigue during long projects. Furthermore, polyester is resistant to UV rays and does not fade easily, ideal for bags that will be used outdoors.
📦 Skein format and yield
The 300 grams for 220 meters format is designed for medium-to-large projects. With one skein you can make a shoulder bag measuring approximately 25x30cm, or a 20cm diameter storage basket. For a large shopper bag (40x35cm) you will need approximately 2 skeins, while half a skein is enough for small pouches.
We always recommend purchasing all the skeins needed for the project at once, to ensure they come from the same dye lot. Although SWAN colors are standardized, small variations between different lots can be visible on large surfaces such as bags.
🧶 Recommended working
The 3.5-4mm crochet hook is the ideal size for this cord because it creates a dense, almost woven fabric, essential for bags that need to carry weight. With this size, the stitch is compact but not rigid, allowing the bag to hold its shape without becoming stiff. A larger crochet hook (5mm) would make the fabric too loose and the bag would lose its structure.
The recommended stitches are single crochet and half double crochet, which make the best use of the cord's compactness. For reference: a 10x10cm sample swatch made with a 4mm crochet hook and double crochet contains 10 rows and 15 stitches. If you prefer working with needles, use 4-4.5mm to achieve a compact knit suitable for structured accessories.
✨ Why choose SWAN MONDIAL Cordino
The main problem with cotton cords for bags is that they deform over time: the weight of objects tends to stretch the stitches and the bag loses its original shape. SWAN Cordino solves this problem thanks to polyester, which has superior elastic memory and does not give under load. Even after months of daily use, the bag maintains its structure like on the first day.
The feature that truly sets it apart is that it does not require additional finishing: the dense, almost woven fabric creates a compact surface that does not require linings or internal reinforcements. This means less work for you and a cleaner, more professional final result. The shiny finish also gives the bags a polished look that makes them suitable even for elegant occasions.
🎨 What you can make
SWAN Cordino is perfect for structured bags that need to carry weight: grocery shoppers, shoulder bags for everyday use, elegant evening clutches. It is also ideal for storage baskets, desk organizers, bathroom containers, and home décor accessories that require stability.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
This cord is suitable for both beginners and experts. Its smoothness on the crochet hook makes it easy to work even for those who are approaching crochet bags for the first time, while the quality of the final result satisfies even the most demanding artisans who sell their creations.
It is typically chosen by hobbyists who want to create bags for personal use with an excellent value for money, artisans who make accessories to order and appreciate the strength of the material, and those looking for a cord that gives professional results without requiring complex techniques or additional finishing.

📌 Important note
The indicated length (220m) may vary by ±5% depending on the production batch. For projects requiring multiple skeins, we recommend purchasing the entire quantity needed at once to ensure consistency in color and length. Slight variations in shade between different batches are normal in the production of synthetic yarns and may be visible on large surfaces.
