🧵 The yarn
ECO VITA 3mm Crochet Multicolour DMC Cotton is a recycled tubular yarn designed for those who seek sustainability without sacrificing quality. Made with 80% recycled cotton sourced from selected textile waste and 20% recycled polyester, this ball offers a natural multicolour degradé effect that develops automatically as you work, with no need to change threads.
Each ball weighs 100 grams and contains approximately 250 meters of yarn, with a 3mm thickness that makes it ideal for crochet projects using a 4-5mm hook, or knitting needles of the same size. The tubular construction ensures excellent smoothness and ease of use, perfect for both beginners and experts.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The recycled cotton that makes up 80% of this yarn comes from industrial textile waste carefully selected by color and composition. This mechanical recycling process requires no additional dyeing: the natural colors of the waste are preserved and combined to create the unique multicolour shades of each ball. The recycled cotton retains the softness, breathability, and freshness of virgin cotton, making it perfect for summer garments worn against the skin.
The 20% recycled polyester adds structural strength and dimensional stability to the yarn, preventing garments from losing their shape after washing. This recycled synthetic fiber also helps with color retention and seam durability, making ECO VITA ideal for bags, accessories, and garments that need to maintain their shape over time. The Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification guarantees the absence of harmful substances.
📦 Format and yield
With 100 grams for 250 meters, a single ball of ECO VITA Multicolour offers a generous yield. With one ball, you can make a small openwork top, a medium-sized crossbody bag, or a light shrug. For larger projects such as a size M short-sleeved sweater, calculate about 4-5 balls; for a spacious beach bag, you will need 2-3 balls.
Being a recycled yarn with a natural degradé effect, each ball has slightly different shades. For projects requiring multiple balls, we recommend purchasing the entire quantity needed in a single order, verifying that they come from the same production lot to ensure color consistency.
🧶 Recommended crafting
DMC recommends using ECO VITA with a 4-5mm crochet hook or 4-5mm needles. This size is ideal because the 3mm tubular yarn needs space to work best: with a 4mm hook, you get a compact stitch perfect for bags and structured accessories, while with a 5mm hook, the fabric becomes softer and more draped, ideal for shawls and summer tops. The reference swatch is 22 stitches x 30 rows in 10x10 cm with 4-5mm needles.
The tubular construction of the yarn makes it particularly suitable for simple stitches that highlight the degradé effect: single crochet, half double crochet, shell stitch. Avoid overly complex stitches that would hide the natural color gradients. For beginners: this yarn is perfect for learning, as it glides easily and does not twist.
✨ Why choose ECO VITA Multicolour Cotton
Compared to chemically dyed multicolour yarns, ECO VITA solves the issue of the environmental impact of dyeing: no additional coloring process means zero polluting discharge and zero water consumption for dyeing. The shades you see are the natural ones from the recovered textile waste, expertly combined to create a unique and unrepeatable degradé effect.
In everyday life, this translates into garments that you can wear with the knowledge that you have made a concrete sustainable choice. The smooth texture and soft feel of the tubular yarn make every garment comfortable to wear even on the hottest days, while the strength of the recycled polyester ensures that bags and accessories maintain their shape even after intensive use.
🎨 What you can make
ECO VITA Multicolour is perfect for summer projects and fashion accessories that require color and durability. The automatic degradé effect enhances simple garments without the need for complex color changes, while the Oeko-Tex certification makes it safe even for accessories in direct contact with the skin.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
This yarn is perfect for beginners who want to achieve professional results without complex techniques: the degradé effect is created automatically, and the tubular construction does not fray and glides easily through the hands. For experts, ECO VITA offers the possibility to create sustainable garments with interesting textures and unique colors that change from ball to ball.
Typical customers: hobbyists looking for certified eco-friendly yarns, artisans who sell sustainable handmade accessories, and those who give handmade gifts with an environmental focus. Also ideal for those who work on commission and want to offer customers a product with a story and concrete values.

📌 Important note
The 250m yardage is approximate and may vary slightly between balls. As this is a recycled yarn with a natural gradient effect, each ball features unique nuances: for projects requiring multiple balls, purchase the entire quantity needed at once, verifying they are from the same batch. After the first wash, ECO VITA tends to relax slightly: always wash a swatch before starting the final project to calculate measurements correctly.
