🧵 The yarn

The MAS Soft Velvet Ribbon is a soft, substantial ribbon that is pleasant to the touch, designed for creating handmade bags and accessories with an elegant and modern look. Its velvet effect surface provides a refined and shiny finish, perfect for day and evening creations.

Each skein weighs approximately 200 grams and offers 42 meters of velvety ribbon. Thanks to its 92% polyester and 8% elastane composition, the ribbon is durable, slightly stretchy and easy to work with, while maintaining a good structure in the finished project.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 92% polyester ensures durability, longevity and shape retention. This synthetic fiber maintains its shiny velvet effect even after prolonged use, does not deform and preserves the brilliance of the surface without fading. Polyester is ideal for bags and accessories that need to support weight and frequent use.

The 8% elastane adds controlled stretch and softness to the working process. This elastic component allows the ribbon to glide easily over the crochet hook without twisting, ensures even stitch tension and allows the finished project to maintain a compact and professional structure without becoming stiff.

📦 Skein size and yield

Each skein weighs 200 grams and contains approximately 42 meters of velvet-effect ribbon. With a single skein you can create a small pouch or decorative accessory. For a medium bag measuring 30x35cm you need approximately 2-3 skeins, depending on the stitch used and the tension.

We recommend purchasing all the skeins needed for the project at once to ensure color and batch uniformity. The velvet effect can vary slightly between different batches, especially in darker or brighter colors. Store the skeins away from direct light to maintain the brilliance of the surface.

🧶 Recommended working method

The recommended crochet hook size is 10-12mm. This size ensures smooth working and a compact but not stiff result, ideal for bags that need to support weight without deforming. With a 10mm crochet hook you get a denser and more defined structure, perfect for pouches and clutch bags. With a 12mm crochet hook the work is softer and faster, suitable for casual bags and shoppers.

The velvety surface glides easily over the crochet hook without twisting, making the working process pleasant even for beginners. Knitting needles 7-9mm are suitable for stockinette or ribbed projects, but crochet remains the most used technique for this type of ribbon.

✨ Why choose Soft Velvet Ribbon

Unlike standard lycra ribbons, Soft Velvet offers a shiny velvet effect that gives your creations an elegant and refined look, perfect for occasion accessories and evening bags. The velvety surface catches the light naturally, creating a play of reflections that enhances every stitch.

The softness to the touch and the substantial structure make this ribbon ideal for projects that need to be beautiful to look at and pleasant to use. The elastic component ensures that the bags maintain their shape over time without deforming, even with frequent use. A yarn that combines aesthetics and functionality.
