🧵 The yarn
SILK&BAG tape yarn by Silke by Arvier is an elastic tape yarn with a metallic effect and iridescent colors, designed for anyone who wants to create bags, clutches and accessories with a contemporary, refined look. Soft, smooth and enjoyable to work with, this tape yarn combines the practicality of polyester with the lightness of spandex, providing controlled stretch and helping projects retain their shape over time.
Each 100-gram ball contains approximately 40 metres of yarn (the length may vary between 35 and 40 metres depending on the color), making it ideal for creating crochet bags, shoulder bags, baskets and handmade fashion accessories with a compact, stretchy and lustrous finish.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 95% polyester composition ensures strength, durability and easy care. Polyester is a synthetic fiber that resists losing its shape, keeps colors bright even after repeated washing and provides a smooth, easy-gliding surface—perfect for quick crochet or knitting projects. This fiber is particularly well suited to accessories that need to hold their shape, such as bags and clutches.
The 5% spandex adds controlled stretch, allowing the yarn to adapt to your stitches without losing its compact structure. Spandex helps the finished piece hold its shape, so your creations won’t become misshapen with everyday use. This blend makes SILK&BAG tape yarn ideal for structured crochet bags, fashion accessories and projects that call for a balance of softness and stability.
📦 Ball size and yield
Each 100-gram ball contains approximately 40 metres of tape yarn (the length may vary between 35 and 40 metres depending on the color and how it is made). With 3 balls, you can make a clutch bag approximately 20–30 cm in size, perfect for elegant evenings or special occasions. You will need around 4 balls for a medium-sized shopper bag.
We recommend buying all the balls needed for your project at the same time to ensure consistent color and dye lot. Differences between dye lots may be visible, especially in metallic and iridescent colors.
🧶 Recommended tools and techniques
SILK&BAG tape yarn works beautifully with a 6–7 mm crochet hook. This size is ideal for creating a compact, even fabric that enhances the yarn’s metallic effect without leaving overly visible gaps. For a softer, airier fabric, you can use a 7 mm hook; for a denser, more structured result, choose a 6 mm hook.
You can also knit with this tape yarn using 6–7 mm needles, creating bags and accessories with different textures. Simple, close stitches (single crochet, double crochet, slip stitch) are best for bringing out the yarn’s iridescent metallic effect. Avoid overly open stitches, which could compromise the bag’s structure.
✨ Why choose SILK&BAG tape yarn
Unlike standard cotton or lycra tape yarns, SILK&BAG offers a metallic, iridescent effect that makes every creation unique and luminous. This yarn is designed for anyone looking for a material that combines practicality with contemporary design, without compromising on Made in Italy quality. It’s more than just elastic tape yarn: it’s designed for fashion accessories that are made to last.
You’ll notice the difference in everyday use: bags made with SILK&BAG retain their shape even after months of use, the colors stay bright, and the metallic effect catches the light beautifully. It’s the perfect choice for creating handmade accessories that look like they came from a boutique.
🎨 What you can make
SILK&BAG tape yarn is ideal for elegant clutch bags, perfect for evenings out and special occasions.

👩🎨 Who it’s for
This tape yarn is suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters. It’s quick and enjoyable to work with thanks to its softness and smooth feel between your fingers. If you’re new to crochet, SILK&BAG is a great choice for learning to make structured bags without straining your hands.

📌 Important note
