🧵 The yarn

SILK&BAG MADREPERLA Ribbon Yarn by Silke by Arvier is an elastic ribbon yarn with an exclusive, luminous mother-of-pearl effect, designed for anyone looking for an elegant, refined yarn for crochet bags and handmade accessories. Its shimmering texture adds a luxurious touch to every creation, setting it apart from classic matte or standard metallic ribbon yarns.

Each 100 g ball contains approximately 40 metres of soft, pleasant-to-work-with ribbon yarn, ideal for both 6–7 mm knitting needles and a 6–7 mm crochet hook. Perfect for making clutch bags, evening purses, fashion accessories and decorative details with a professional, long-lasting finish.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 95% polyester composition ensures strength, durability and easy care. Polyester helps creations retain their shape even after frequent use, resists stretching and preserves the intensity of the colours and the luminous mother-of-pearl effect that define this ribbon yarn. It is the ideal fibre for bags and accessories that need to retain their structure and beauty over time.

The 5% spandex adds controlled stretch, making the ribbon yarn soft to work with and comfortable to the touch. Spandex allows a bag to adapt slightly to its contents without losing its original shape—a key advantage for structured clutches and bags. This blend makes SILK&BAG MADREPERLA Ribbon Yarn perfect for projects that combine refined looks with practical functionality.

📦 Ball size and yield

Each 100 g ball contains approximately 40 metres of ribbon yarn. A 20–30 cm clutch bag requires approximately 3–4 balls, while a medium-sized shopper takes about 4 balls. The yield varies depending on the stitch used and your tension.

For larger projects or to ensure consistent colour, we recommend buying all the balls you need at once and checking that they belong to the same dye lot. Small shade variations between different lots are normal and may be visible on larger surfaces.

🧶 Recommended technique

SILK&BAG MADREPERLA Ribbon Yarn is perfect for 6–7 mm knitting needles and a 6–7 mm crochet hook. This size allows for smooth working and a neat finish, enhancing the mother-of-pearl effect without making the structure heavy. For structured bags and clutches, we recommend keeping your tension slightly firm for greater stability and shape retention.

Choose simple, dense stitches such as single crochet, double crochet or treble crochet to make the most of the ribbon yarn’s luminous effect. Stitches that are too open let the light through and diminish the visual impact of the mother-of-pearl finish. Thanks to its smooth, soft texture, this ribbon yarn is also suitable for beginners.

✨ Why choose SILK&BAG MADREPERLA Ribbon Yarn

Unlike standard metallic ribbon yarns, which have a flat, shiny finish, mother-of-pearl ribbon yarn creates luminous, iridescent reflections that change with the light, adding depth and sophistication to your creations. It is the ideal choice for anyone looking for an elegant yarn for evening bags, clutches for special occasions or distinctive fashion accessories.

Made in Italy quality ensures high production standards, consistent yarn and lasting durability. Its softness and controlled stretch make it enjoyable to work with, even during long crafting sessions, while the strength of polyester helps your creations retain their shape and beauty after repeated use.
