🧵 The Yarn
Astro-LuX Ribbon is an elastic recycled yarn designed for those seeking volume, lightness, and sustainability in handmade projects. Made from 70% recycled cotton, 25% recycled polyester, and 5% other fibers — all materials recovered from textile waste — it is the ideal choice for fashion accessories, original garments, and eco-friendly home decor.
Each skein weighs 250 grams and offers approximately 120 meters of yarn with a thickness of 7mm, perfect for quick work and medium-sized projects. It works up easily with both a 6-8mm crochet hook and 6-15mm knitting needles, ensuring good stitch definition even with simple techniques.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 70% recycled cotton provides softness, breathability, and a natural feel. Recovered from high-quality textile waste, this cotton maintains all the properties of virgin fiber but with a significantly reduced environmental impact. It is perfect for projects requiring comfort and durability, such as day bags, summer tops, and accessories worn against the skin.
The 25% recycled polyester adds structure, elasticity, and wear resistance. This synthetic fiber, recovered from plastic bottles and discarded textiles, gives the yarn the ability to maintain its shape even after numerous washes, reducing the risk of deformation typical of 100% natural yarns. The remaining 5% of other recycled fibers completes the blend, improving workability and ease of sliding on needles and hooks.
📦 Skein format and yield
Each 250-gram skein provides approximately 120 meters of yarn, enough to cover an area of about 45x45 cm using single crochet with a 6-7mm hook. With just one skein, you can create a pouch, a small storage basket, or a square for a modular bag. For larger projects like shopping bags or rugs, calculate about 3-4 skeins for an average bag and 6-8 skeins for an 80cm diameter round rug.
As this is a recycled yarn, slight variations in length (±5%) and minor imperfections like joins or color differences between batches may occur. For projects requiring color consistency, we recommend purchasing all necessary skeins at once, ensuring they are from the same production lot.
🧶 Recommended application
A 6-8mm crochet hook is ideal for this yarn, allowing for a dense yet non-rigid fabric, perfect for bags and accessories that need to hold their shape without being heavy. A 6mm hook creates a tighter, more structured texture for heavy-duty bags, while an 8mm hook results in a softer, more open weave for summer tops and lightweight decor.
With 6-15mm knitting needles, the yarn is perfect for fast-paced and oversized projects. Smaller needles (6-8mm) are recommended for structured items like knitted bags or belts, while larger needles (12-15mm) allow for voluminous, soft scarves, blankets, and cushions. Thanks to its natural elasticity, the yarn slides easily and does not require excessive tension, making it suitable even for beginners.
✨ Why choose Astro-LuX Ribbon
Compared to standard virgin cotton or lycra ribbons, Astro-LuX offers a tangible advantage: it is more elastic and lighter for the same volume, thanks to the recycled polyester in the blend. This means bags made with this yarn weigh less and conform better to their contents without losing structure. Unlike 100% lycra ribbons, Astro-LuX maintains a more natural, less slippery texture, making it easier to work with, even for those with less experience.
The real strength is uncompromising sustainability: by choosing Astro-LuX, you do not sacrifice quality, resistance, or aesthetics, but you contribute concretely to reducing the environmental impact of the textile industry. Each skein represents recovered materials that would otherwise end up in landfills, transformed into a high-performance, versatile yarn that rivals virgin materials.
🎨 What you can create
Astro-LuX Ribbon is perfect for projects requiring volume, elasticity, and resistance. Its primary use is in creating bags and fashion accessories, but its versatility also makes it suitable for summer clothing, home decor, and all kinds of creative projects.
👩🎨 Who it's for
This yarn is suitable for both beginners and experts. The generous thickness (7mm) and natural elasticity make the process fast and rewarding, even for those new to crochet or large needles. Stitches are well-defined and mistakes are easily corrected thanks to the soft structure of the yarn.
Our typical customer is looking for a sustainable yarn for creative projects: hobbyists who want to reduce the environmental impact of their creations, artisans who sell eco-friendly handmade accessories, and anyone looking for a lighter, more versatile alternative to traditional lycra or virgin cotton ribbons.
