🧵 The Yarn
DMC ECO VITA 04 Macramé Cord is a tubular recycled cotton yarn designed for those seeking sustainability without compromising on quality. With a thickness of 3 mm, it is perfect for macramé, crochet and home décor projects that require structure and durability. Each 250g ball provides approximately 200 metres of yarn, ideal for making bags, baskets, rugs and modern home accessories.
The composition of 80% recycled cotton and 20% polyester gives it a compact, natural texture that is easy to work with for beginners and experienced makers alike. The generous ball size lets you complete medium-sized projects with just a few balls: only 2 balls are needed for a medium-sized bag, making it economical and practical.
🧬 Technical Composition: Why It Works
The 80% recycled cotton is made from textile waste recovered from industrial production, drastically reducing environmental impact compared with virgin cotton. This fibre retains the softness and breathability typical of natural cotton, offering a pleasant feel and a matte, natural look that enhances every handmade creation. It is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, guaranteeing that it is free from harmful substances.
The 20% recycled polyester adds mechanical strength and dimensional stability—essential for three-dimensional projects such as baskets and containers that need to hold their shape over time. This blend makes the yarn more durable than pure cotton, reducing the risk of deformation after washing and helping your projects last longer.
📦 Ball Size and Yield
Each ball weighs 250 grams and provides approximately 200 metres of tubular yarn. A single ball is enough to make small decorative projects such as coasters, dreamcatchers or plant hangers. For a medium-sized bag, 2 balls are sufficient, while 3–4 are needed for rugs or large baskets, depending on the finished dimensions.
The generous ball size reduces the number of joins needed for larger projects, resulting in a neater, more professional finish. We recommend buying all the balls you need at once to avoid colour variations between dye lots, which can be noticeable in light or neutral shades.
🧶 Recommended Tools
For crochet, we recommend a No. 4 hook, which creates a compact, structured fabric ideal for bags, baskets and containers that need to hold their shape. For a softer, more draped effect, you can use a No. 5 hook for projects such as shawls or lightweight blankets.
For knitting, the recommended needle size is No. 5, perfect for rugs, table runners and cushions. The tubular yarn creates a modern, textured look, making it especially popular for macramé, where the knots are well-defined and durable. It is also suitable for beginners thanks to its ease of use and smooth texture.
✨ Why Choose DMC ECO VITA 04 Macramé Cord
Compared with virgin cotton cords, ECO VITA 04 reduces water consumption by 70% and CO2 emissions from production by 90%. You don't have to compromise on quality: Oeko-Tex certification guarantees that it is free from harmful substances, making it safe even for projects intended for children. Its tubular construction offers greater strength than flat yarns and helps projects hold their shape after washing.
Its real added value is its versatility: it works perfectly for macramé, crochet and knitting, letting you experiment with different techniques using a single yarn. The biodegradable label contains daisy seeds that can be planted after use, turning every purchase into a practical gesture for the environment.
🎨 What You Can Make

The range of 18 available colours allows for creative combinations and multicoloured projects.
👩🎨 Who It's For
This yarn is suitable for all skill levels: beginners appreciate how easy it is to work with and its smooth texture, while experienced makers can make the most of its versatility for complex projects. The 3 mm thickness is perfect for those new to macramé, as the knots are well-defined and easy to control.
It is a favourite among creative hobbyists looking for sustainable materials, professional artisans who sell on Etsy or at handmade markets, and eco-design enthusiasts who want to reduce their environmental impact without compromising on quality.
