🧵 The yarn

MARRAKESH Mondial Ribbon is a microfiber cord covered with genuine cotton fabric featuring multicolor stripes and lamé inserts. It is a truly unusual and original yarn, designed for those looking for a cotton ribbon for bags with a striking effect that stands out from classic flat yarns. The covered structure creates a final result that resembles woven fabric rather than a simple cord.

Each skein weighs 300g and offers approximately 22 meters of yarn. It is classified as a super bulky yarn, so it works up quickly with visible results in no time. Ideal for crochet projects with auxiliary yarn, it allows you to create structured bags, decorative baskets, and original jewelry with an immediate visual impact.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 60% cotton ensures a soft feel, breathability, and a natural look that enhances the fabric effect of the covering. Cotton absorbs colors well, allowing for vibrant and bright shades that are essential to the multicolor aesthetic of this yarn. Furthermore, cotton provides a pleasant tactile sensation when handling the finished bag or accessory.

The 40% polyester microfiber forms the core of the cord and ensures strength, structure, and long-lasting durability. Microfiber helps the yarn retain its shape even after numerous uses, prevents the cord from fraying, and ensures that the bags maintain their structural integrity. This combination makes MARRAKESH perfect for accessories that need to be beautiful yet also functional and resistant to everyday wear.

📦 Skein size and yield

With a 300g, 22-meter skein, you can make one complete medium bag or 2-3 pieces of jewelry (necklaces, bracelets). For larger bags or large decorative baskets, you will need 2 skeins. The yield depends heavily on the technique used and the density of the work with auxiliary yarn.

As this is a piece-dyed yarn, the color may vary significantly between different batches. If you are working on a project that requires multiple skeins, we recommend purchasing them all together to ensure they come from the same dye lot and have perfectly matching shades.

🧶 Recommended technique

MARRAKESH is worked exclusively in crochet with auxiliary yarn. The auxiliary yarn (usually a fine cotton) is worked into chains and single crochet stitches to create a structural "cage," while the MARRAKESH cord is inserted inside this structure. This technique allows you to create durable, well-defined accessories where the multicolor cord remains visible on the outside, creating the decorative effect.

For jewelry, MARRAKESH can also be used on its own, without auxiliary yarn, simply by tying or braiding it. The technique is suitable for both beginners (the basic projects are very simple) and those who already have experience and want to try more complex techniques. The super bulky yarn makes the work quick and rewarding.

✨ Why choose MARRAKESH Ribbon

Unlike classic flat ribbons for bags, MARRAKESH offers a three-dimensional fabric effect that makes every creation unique and distinctive. While traditional ribbons create smooth, uniform surfaces, this covered cord adds texture, depth, and a play of colors that catches the eye. The lamé inserts also add that touch of shine that makes the difference between a handmade accessory and a truly special piece.

In everyday life, a bag made with MARRAKESH stands out immediately: the multicolor shades pair easily with summer outfits, the material is resistant to frequent use, and the structure retains its shape even after months of use. It is the ideal choice for those who want to create DIY bags that won't go unnoticed.

🎨 What you can make

MARRAKESH is perfect for summer crochet bags, evening clutches, storage baskets, decorative placemats, and original jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. The vibrant color palette allows you to choose shades suitable for every style, from boho chic to modern minimalist.

👩‍🎨 Who it is suitable for

This yarn is suitable for both beginners who want to make their first project with professional results and those who already have experience and are looking for original materials for striking creations. The basic technique with auxiliary yarn is easy to learn and only requires chains and single crochet stitches, points within everyone's reach.

MARRAKESH is typically purchased by hobbyists who love creating ribbon summer accessories, artisans who sell handmade bags on Etsy or at local markets, and those looking for an original handmade gift idea. It is also perfect for anyone who wants to personalize their home with unique baskets and home accessories.
