🧵 The yarn
DMC BABYLO MULTICOLOR N°20 Filo di Scozia is a premium yarn made from 100% long-staple cotton, designed for anyone looking for a fine, durable thread with unique colour effects. Each ball features 3 rich, contrasting shades that blend naturally as you work, creating lively colour transitions without the need to change colours by hand. Ideal for lovers of lace, doilies and refined decorations with a touch of originality.
The 50-gram ball contains 366 metres of yarn, offering plenty for complete projects. It is worked with a 1.25–1.50mm crochet hook, the ideal size for neat, well-defined stitches. The silky texture and lustrous appearance typical of DMC Filo di Scozia ensure an elegant, professional finish, perfect for creations designed to last.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The long-staple cotton used for BABYLO is selected from the finest in the world. Long fibres provide greater tensile strength and less pilling than standard cotton. This means your projects retain their original appearance even after numerous washes, without losing their shape or stitch definition. Natural cotton is also breathable and hypoallergenic, making it perfect for creations worn next to the skin or used around the home.
The yarn is twisted into 3 inseparable plies and mercerised, a treatment that enhances cotton's natural lustre and improves colour fastness. Mercerisation makes the thread more resistant to wear and frequent washing—an essential quality for doilies, tablecloths and decorations that need to retain their sheen and shape over time. The 3 multicolor shades are dyed to strict European environmental standards, ensuring vivid, long-lasting colours without harmful substances.
📦 Ball size and yield
Each ball weighs 50 grams and contains 366 metres of thread—an excellent yield for a No. 20 thread. One ball is enough to make a medium-sized doily (25–30cm in diameter) or decorative edgings for towels and tablecloths. For larger projects such as full tablecloths or granny-square blankets, allow approximately 3–4 balls per 100cm² of solid-stitch fabric.
As this is a multicolor yarn, it is important to buy all the balls needed for your project in one order. Even when the colour code is the same, the shades may vary slightly between production batches. To ensure consistent colours in larger projects, always check that the balls come from the same dye lot.
🧶 Recommended technique
DMC recommends working BABYLO N°20 with a 1.25–1.50mm crochet hook. This fine size creates compact, well-defined stitches, ideal for lace and decorations that require precision. A 1.25mm hook produces a denser fabric, perfect for structured doilies that need to hold their shape. A 1.50mm hook creates a slightly softer, more drapey fabric, suitable for edgings and appliqués on fabric.
The thread glides easily over the hook thanks to its silky texture and even twist. It is suitable both for beginners looking to try fine threads and for experienced crafters seeking reliable cotton for complex projects. The multicolor effect particularly enhances openwork stitches and fan patterns, where the colour variations create natural plays of light without the need to change colours.
✨ Why choose BABYLO MULTICOLOR N°20
Unlike budget multicolor yarns, BABYLO delivers the consistent quality of DMC Filo di Scozia: no knots in the ball, no uneven thickness and no fading after washing. The 3 shades are designed to create harmonious contrasts, not random ones. This means every project will have a predictable, professional finish, with no unpleasant colour surprises.
You really notice the difference when you wash the finished piece: while standard cottons lose their lustre and become misshapen, BABYLO retains its original shape and its colours stay vivid even after dozens of washes at 60°C. For anyone making doilies, tablecloths or decorations that will be used and washed frequently, this durability is what makes the difference between a piece that lasts for years and one that wears out after only a few uses.
🎨 What you can make
BABYLO MULTICOLOR N°20 is perfect for lace, doilies and decorative edgings for home linens. The multicolor effect enhances openwork and fan patterns, creating natural colour play. It is also ideal for colourful granny squares, coasters, place cards and small decorative accessories.
👩🎨 Who it's for
No. 20 thread takes a little practice with a fine crochet hook, but it is not just for experts. If you have already completed at least one project with a 2–2.5mm hook and want to move on to finer work, BABYLO N°20 is the ideal next step. The smooth-running thread and even twist make it easy to work, even for those trying fine yarns for the first time.
It is especially popular with crafters who love lace and traditional doilies, as well as anyone looking for reliable cotton for favour gifts, place cards and small handmade presents. The multicolor version is particularly appreciated by those who want a blended-colour effect without managing colour changes by hand, saving time while still achieving an original, polished result.
