🧵 The yarn

RIMINI Cotton by Miss Tricot Filati is a 100% gassed and mercerized cotton yarn designed for those seeking precision and perfect details in their crochet work. The double process—gassing and mercerizing—gives the thread a smooth, uniform, and slightly shiny surface, ideal for projects that require well-defined stitches like amigurumi, toys, and granny squares.

Each ball weighs 50 grams and provides about 125 meters of yarn, a practical format for small to medium projects. It can be worked with 3.5-4 needles or a 3.5-4.5 crochet hook, ensuring smooth and enjoyable work for both beginners and experts.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

Gassed cotton is cotton that has undergone a gassing process that eliminates short and surface fibers, creating a uniform and smooth texture. This treatment makes the thread stronger, reduces pilling, and ensures that every stitch is clean and clearly visible—a fundamental feature for amigurumi and detailed work.

Mercerization adds natural sheen to the cotton and improves its resistance to washing and wear. The result is a yarn that maintains its brightness and shape even after numerous uses, perfect for toys intended for children or garments that require frequent washing.

📦 Ball format and yield

Each ball weighs 50 grams and offers about 125 meters of yarn. With one ball, you can make a small amigurumi (10-12 cm), 2-3 15x15 cm granny squares, or contribute to larger projects like tops, tank tops, or summer bags.

For projects requiring multiple balls of the same color, we recommend purchasing the necessary amount in a single order: dye lots may present slight shade variations, which are imperceptible individually but visible if placed next to each other in a single garment.

🧶 Recommended work

RIMINI Cotton works well with 3.5-4 needles for knitting and 3.5-4.5 crochet hooks for crochet projects. This intermediate size allows for a compact yet non-rigid fabric, ideal for amigurumi that need to hold their shape without being too hard to the touch.

For granny squares and lace work, a 4-4.5 crochet hook ensures well-defined stitches and regular spacing. For very small amigurumi or fine details, you can drop down to a 3 mm hook for an even tighter fabric and perfect details.

✨ Why choose RIMINI Cotton

Compared to untreated cottons, RIMINI Cotton offers a smooth finish that makes every stitch visible and uniform, without fuzz or irregularities. This makes all the difference when working on amigurumi or toys: facial details, seams, and color changes result in a clean and professional finish.
