🧵 The yarn

TOPLESS Miss Tricot Filati is an elasticized yarn designed specifically for creating crochet swimwear and beachwear garments. Made from 100% Tactel polyamide, this technical yarn ensures superior elasticity, resistance to salt water and chlorine, and a soft-touch texture that makes it extremely comfortable against the skin.

Each 50-gram ball provides approximately 125 meters of yarn, perfect for making bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, sarongs, and cover-ups. It is worked with a 3.5–4 mm crochet hook or needles of the same size, ensuring a compact and durable result ideal for use at the beach or pool.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

Tactel polyamide is a technical synthetic fiber developed specifically for sports and aquatic clothing. Unlike traditional cotton, polyamide does not absorb water, ensuring quick drying and shape retention even after numerous uses. Its molecular structure offers natural elasticity that allows garments to adapt perfectly to the body without deforming.

Tactel fiber is also UV-resistant, protecting the yarn's color from fading caused by prolonged sun exposure. This feature makes TOPLESS ideal for swimwear that maintains its brightness and vibrancy even after an entire summer season. Chlorine resistance ensures that the finished garments can be used in the pool without fiber deterioration.

📦 Format and yarn yield

Each ball of TOPLESS weighs 50 grams and offers approximately 125 meters of yarn. With one ball, you can make a size S bikini top or about half of a one-piece swimsuit. For a complete bikini (bra + bottom) in size S, 3 balls are recommended, while for larger sizes or one-piece swimsuits, 4–5 balls are required.

For larger projects such as sarongs or cover-ups, calculate about 6–8 balls depending on the desired dimensions. We recommend purchasing all the necessary balls from the same dye lot to ensure perfect color uniformity in the finished garment.

🧶 Recommended crafting

TOPLESS is worked with a 3.5–4 mm crochet hook or needles of the same size. A 3.5 mm hook is ideal if you want a more compact and durable result, perfect for swimwear that must maintain its shape in water. A 4 mm hook offers a slightly softer and more breathable texture, ideal for cover-ups and sarongs.

To obtain a 10x10 cm gauge, you need 21 stitches x 26 rows with a 3.5–4 mm hook. This gauge ensures an elastic yet compact construction, which maintains the coverage necessary for functional swimwear. The yarn is also suitable for beginners thanks to its smooth texture that glides easily on the hook.

✨ Why choose TOPLESS Miss Tricot Filati

Unlike traditional elastic cotton, TOPLESS is moth-proof, does not deform with repeated use in water, and maintains its original elasticity even after dozens of washes. Tactel polyamide offers superior mechanical resistance compared to natural fibers, ensuring garments that last over time without losing shape or color.

The soft-touch texture makes this yarn extremely comfortable against the skin, without the rough effect typical of some cheap synthetic yarns. After use in the sea or pool, garments made with TOPLESS dry quickly and do not require ironing, making them practical for travelers or daily beachgoers.

🎨 What you can make

TOPLESS is the ideal yarn for crochet bikinis, one-piece swimsuits, trikinis, and all beachwear garments that require elasticity and water resistance. Thanks to its technical composition, it is also perfect for summer tops, sports tank tops, and beach accessories like headbands and beach bags.

👩‍🎨 Who is it for

TOPLESS is suitable for both beginners and experienced crocheters. Its smooth and uniform texture glides easily on the hook, making crafting fluid even for those who are first approaching the creation of swimwear. The yarn does not fray and maintains constant tension during work.

It is the ideal choice for hobbyists who want to create custom swimsuits, artisans who sell handmade beachwear, and those looking for a sustainable alternative to industrial swimwear. Many customers also buy it to make unique and personalized gifts for friends and family.
