🧵 The yarn
Brazil Mondial is a 100% PA microfiber yarn designed for anyone who wants to create bikinis, swimsuits and summer accessories with a professional crochet finish. Fine, cool and pleasant to the touch, this yarn meets the growing demand for openwork crochet swimwear in a lace-like style, which has dominated beaches in recent years.
Each ball weighs 50 grams and offers approximately 175 metres of yarn—a generous length that lets you make a complete bikini with just 2–3 balls. It is worked with a 2–3mm crochet hook, ideal for creating well-defined, dense stitches that are perfect for swimwear requiring structure and support.
🧬 Technical composition: why PA microfiber works
PA Microfiber (Polyamide) is the fibre of choice for swimwear because it offers a unique combination of lightness, durability and comfort. Unlike natural cotton, which absorbs water and becomes heavy, PA microfiber repels moisture, dries quickly and retains its shape even after many washes. It is resistant to pool chlorine and salt water, two longstanding enemies of traditional yarns.
PA microfiber also has natural elasticity, allowing the garment to adapt to the body without losing its shape. This means a bikini made with Brazil Mondial retains its perfect fit even after hours in the water. The fibre is also UV-resistant, so the vibrant colours in the Brazil range do not fade easily in the summer sun.
📦 Ball size and yield
One 50g, 175m ball is enough to make a complete size S–M bikini top with cups and ties. A full bikini (top + bottoms) typically requires 2–3 balls, depending on the size and pattern complexity. An openwork beach cover-up takes about 4–5 balls, while 2 are enough for a beach bag.
We recommend buying all the balls you need for your project at once, as colour lots may vary slightly between production runs. The Brazil Mondial colour range offers over 15 vibrant colours, from classic black and white to neon and pastel shades—perfect for creating original combinations.
🧶 Recommended techniques
Brazil Mondial is worked with a 2–3mm crochet hook. This small size is essential for creating a dense, structured fabric that provides the coverage needed for swimwear. A larger hook would create stitches that are too loose for use in water. PA microfiber glides smoothly over the hook despite its small size, making it easy to work with even for beginners.
You can also knit with size 2–3 needles for projects other than swimwear, such as summer tops or lightweight vests. The most popular techniques are dense single crochet for structural sections (cups, bottoms) and decorative openwork stitches (shells, arches) for ornamental sections. If you're new to crochet swimwear, start with a simple triangle design: Brazil Mondial is forgiving of mistakes thanks to its natural elasticity.
✨ Why choose Brazil Mondial
Many summer yarns made from cotton or cotton blends absorb water, become heavy and lose their shape after just a few hours at the beach. Brazil Mondial solves this problem with PA microfiber, which repels water and dries in just a few minutes. This means your bikini won't lose its shape, become heavy or leave you with annoying water droplets when you come out of the sea. Its chlorine resistance also makes it perfect for regular pool-goers.
Compared with other swimwear yarns, Brazil Mondial offers more yardage (175m versus the competition's average of 125m) for the same weight, helping you save on the number of balls needed. The colour range is extensive and the shades are vibrant, perfect for creating eye-catching bikinis. This yarn is made to last: after a full season of use, it retains its colour, shape and softness just as it did on day one.
🎨 What you can make
Brazil Mondial was created for swimwear, but its versatility makes it suitable for many other summer projects too. You can make triangle bikinis, bandeau tops, Brazilian-cut bottoms, openwork one-piece swimsuits, as well as lightweight cover-ups, crop tops, tank tops, beach bags and headbands. PA microfiber is perfect for accessories that need to withstand sun, sand and salt water.
👩🎨 Who it's suitable for
Brazil Mondial is suitable for both beginners and experienced crocheters. If this is your first time making crochet swimwear, PA microfiber glides smoothly and its elasticity helps it forgive minor tension inconsistencies. If you're experienced, you'll appreciate the stitch definition and the ability to create complex textures without the yarn fraying or twisting. The small crochet hook (2–3mm) takes a little practice, but the finished result is well worth the effort.
This yarn is popular with crafters who make swimwear for themselves or to sell, as well as anyone looking for an original handmade gift. The vibrant colour range is perfect for creative, personalised projects. If you visit beaches or pools and want a one-of-a-kind swimsuit that no one else will have, Brazil Mondial is the right choice.
