🧵 The Yarn

The Daino SOFT SUEDE Ribbon Yarn by MAS Srl is an innovative yarn designed for those who want to create crochet bags and accessories with an authentic, professional suede effect. Unlike traditional shiny lycra ribbons or rigid faux leathers, this ribbon offers a matte, soft, and velvety texture reminiscent of natural deer suede. It is the ideal choice for creating elegant, substantial accessories with a contemporary look without sacrificing the convenience of crochet work.

Each 200-gram ball offers 90 meters of flat ribbon, identical on both sides. This means you won't have to worry about the right or wrong side while working: every stitch will have the same uniform and professional appearance. It is worked with a 6-8mm crochet hook, a size that ensures compact and structured textures, ideal for bags that need to hold their shape even when full.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 90% polyester - 10% elastane composition was designed to combine the strength and durability of polyester with the flexibility of elastane. Polyester ensures that the bag retains its shape over time, resists daily wear, and does not deform even after months of use. It is a robust synthetic fiber that is easy to clean and does not absorb moisture, perfect for accessories that need to last.

The 10% elastane adds the slight stretch that makes the work more comfortable and smooth. While crocheting, the ribbon adapts to the movements of your hand without resistance, reducing fatigue and allowing you to complete even large projects effortlessly. This percentage of elasticity is calibrated not to compromise the final structure: the bag remains compact and supported, without the "limp" effect typical of overly elastic yarns.

📦 Ball format and yield

Each 200-gram ball offers 90 meters of ribbon. Thanks to the body of the yarn, the work proceeds quickly and the yield is excellent even for structured projects. With 1-3 balls, you can make an elegant evening clutch or pouch. With 2-4 balls, you can complete a medium crossbody or shoulder bag. For a large shopper or a roomy day bag, you will need 3-5 balls.

We recommend purchasing the entire quantity needed for your project in a single order to avoid color differences between different production batches. As this is a yarn obtained from cutting dyed fabric, slight variations in shade between batches are normal and inevitable.

🧶 Recommended working method

The ideal size for working with this ribbon is a 6-8mm crochet hook. With a 6mm hook, you get a tighter and more defined texture, perfect for clutches and pouches that need to keep a rigid and structured shape. With an 8mm hook, the result is softer and faster to work, ideal for shoppers and casual bags that don't require excessive rigidity.

Thanks to the flat surface that is identical on both sides, you won't have to worry about twisting or unsightly backsides during the process. Every stitch will have the same uniform look from the beginning to the end of the project. This feature makes it suitable even for those new to leather-effect ribbons: the result is always professional, even with basic stitches like single crochet.

✨ Why choose SOFT SUEDE

If you have already worked with shiny lycra ribbons or classic faux leather, you know they often present problems: shiny lycra looks too sporty and informal for elegant bags, while rigid faux leather can be difficult to work with and tends to twist while crocheting. SOFT SUEDE solves both problems: it offers the elegance and matte texture of natural suede, but with the softness and convenience of a flat ribbon that glides perfectly on the crochet hook.

The end result is a bag with a professional, substantial, and contemporary look that rivals genuine leather accessories. The suede texture gives depth and character to every creation, making it perfect for those who want to sell their handmade bags or for those looking for a unique, high-quality accessory for personal use.

🎨 What you can create

The SOFT SUEDE Ribbon is perfect for making elegant, suede-effect bags and accessories. It is ideal for evening clutches, formal pouches, structured crossbody bags, roomy shoppers, and fashion accessories like belts and bracelets. The color palette offers warm and classic tones inspired by the natural shades of tanned leather: perfect for timeless creations that match any outfit.

👩🎨 Who is it for

This ribbon is suitable for both those who are beginners with crochet bags and those who already have experience and are looking for a higher-quality yarn. The flat surface, identical on both sides, makes the process simple and intuitive: you won't have to worry about twisting or constantly checking the right side from the wrong side. Even with basic stitches like single crochet, the result is always professional.

It is the ideal choice for hobbyists who want to create elegant accessories for personal use, for artisans who sell handmade bags and are looking for a premium-looking yarn, and for those who want to make unique, high-quality gifts. The suede texture adds a touch of class that makes the difference.
