🧵 The yarn
The MACRA-CROCHET LUX Cord by Miss Tricot Filati is a metallic macramé cord designed for those seeking sustainable yarn with a touch of shimmer. Made of 96% recycled cotton and 4% metallic polyester, it combines an eco-responsible base with a refined, luminous effect that enhances every knot without being overwhelming. Ideal for high-impact macramé, knitting, and crochet projects.
Each ball weighs 250g and offers approximately 200 meters of cord with a 2mm thickness, perfect for projects requiring defined knots and tidy textures. It can be worked with a 3-4mm crochet hook or 5-6mm knitting needles for softer projects. The generous length makes it suitable for medium to large-sized bags, fashion accessories, and home decor.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The recycled cotton that makes up 96% of the yarn ensures durability, softness, and excellent workability for macramé knots and crochet stitches. Being recycled, it reduces environmental impact without compromising quality: it maintains the structure of virgin cotton, with a slightly more rustic texture that adds character to finished pieces. Perfect for those looking for sustainable yarn without sacrificing aesthetic results.
The 4% metallic polyester adds a subtle luminous effect that enhances every weave without weighing down the yarn. It is not an intrusive lurex: the shine is discreet, visible in the light but never excessive. This detail makes the cord ideal for fashion accessories, jewelry, and boho-chic decorations that require an extra touch of elegance compared to traditional matte cords.
📦 Ball format and yield
With 250g and 200 meters per ball, MACRA-CROCHET LUX offers a generous yield for medium-sized projects. A single ball is enough to make small accessories like bracelets, keychains, or macramé pendants. For a medium-sized bag, you will need about 2 balls, while for larger projects such as tapestries, curtains, or rugs, it is advisable to calculate 3-4 balls depending on the complexity of the design.
The 2mm thickness ensures well-defined knots and a clean texture, ideal for those working with detailed macramé patterns or crochet stitches that require precision. We recommend purchasing all the necessary balls in one go to avoid color shade variations between different batches, especially for monochromatic projects.
🧶 Recommended working technique
The cord is mainly worked with a 3-4mm crochet hook, the ideal size for maintaining a compact structure and visible knots in macramé projects. With this size, you get a tight weave, perfect for bags that need to support weight or accessories that require stability. If you prefer a softer, draped effect, you can use 5-6mm knitting needles: the result will be airier, suitable for shawls, shrugs, or hanging decorations.
For macramé, the 2mm thickness is perfect for flat knots, spiral knots, and complex weaves: the yarn glides well between the fingers and holds its shape without fraying. Beginners will also find this cord easy to handle, while experts will appreciate the precision in detail. Recommended for mixed techniques that combine crochet and macramé in the same project.
✨ Why choose MACRA-CROCHET LUX
Compared to traditional 100% cotton macramé cords, MACRA-CROCHET LUX offers a discreet metallic effect that enhances pieces without being excessive. Many lurex cords on the market have a shine that is too intrusive and distracts from the design: this yarn strikes the right balance, with a subtle light that emerges only when needed. Ideal for those who want a touch of elegance without sacrificing the naturalness of cotton.
The choice of recycled cotton makes it one of the most sustainable options in the macramé category: you reduce environmental impact without compromising the quality of the finished work. The yarn retains the strength and softness of virgin cotton, with a slightly more rustic texture that gives character to handmade projects. Perfect for those who sell handcrafted creations and want to communicate eco-responsibility.
🎨 What you can create
MACRA-CROCHET LUX is versatile and suitable for projects of all levels. Perfect for bags and pouches with luminous details, belts and fashion accessories, macramé jewelry like bracelets, earrings, and pendants. Also ideal for boho-chic home decor: tapestries, curtains, cushions, dreamcatchers, and wall decorations. Great for placemats, storage baskets, rugs, and handmade keychains with a light-reflecting effect.
👩🎨 Who is it for?
This cord is suitable for both beginners and experts. Its 2mm thickness and soft texture make it easy to manage for those new to macramé or crochet: knots form effortlessly and the yarn glides well between the fingers. Experienced hobbyists will appreciate the precision in detail and the ability to create complex weaves without the yarn fraying.
Perfect for creative hobbyists looking for versatile yarn for personal projects, professional crafters who sell handmade bags and accessories, and those who love to give unique creations with a touch of shimmer. The metallic effect also makes it ideal for those making bijoux and macramé jewelry to sell online or at markets.

📌 Important note
The indicated yardage (200m) may vary slightly between production batches. We recommend purchasing all the skeins needed for your project at once to ensure color and tone uniformity. The metallic effect may vary slightly between batches: for monochromatic projects, it is essential to use skeins from the same dye lot.
