🧵 The Yarn
The Soft Eco Ribbon by MAS Srl is a vegan faux leather yarn designed for those who want to create modern crochet bags with a cruelty-free material. The composition of 95% polyester and 5% elastane ensures a texture that is soft to the touch yet structured, perfect for accessories that need to hold their shape without becoming stiff. The satin effect adds elegance to every project, from evening clutches to casual shoppers.
Each ball weighs 200g and provides approximately 90 meters of ribbon. It works up with an 8-9mm crochet hook, ideal for those seeking a quick project with visible results in just a few hours. The width of the ribbon allows for fast coverage of the surface, making this yarn suitable even for beginners in handmade bag creation.
🧬 Technical Composition: Why It Works
The 95% polyester is the structural foundation of this ribbon: it offers wear resistance, retains its color over time, and does not deform after washing. Unlike real leather, polyester does not require specific treatments and is moisture-resistant. This makes it perfect for bags intended for daily use, without the fear of damaging the material in the rain or through heavy use.
The 5% elastane adds just the right amount of stretch: the ribbon adapts better to crochet stitches without breaking, and the final result feels softer to the touch. This small percentage makes a difference when working on projects requiring constant tension, such as shoulder bags or rigid clutches. The elastane also improves wearability: the bags maintain their shape but do not feel as rigid as those made from 100% synthetic ribbons.
📦 Ball Format and Yield
With a weight of 200g and a length of 90 meters, one ball of Soft Eco Ribbon is enough to make a 20x15cm pouch or a small storage container. For larger projects, such as a medium shoulder bag (30x25cm), you will need about 3-4 balls. A large shopper requires 5-6 balls, depending on the stitch density chosen.
The yardage may vary slightly between balls (tolerance ±5m), so for projects requiring multiple balls, it is advisable to purchase all material in one go, verifying that the dye lots match. This prevents visible tonal differences in the finished work, especially with light or saturated colors.
🧶 Recommended Working Technique
The 8-9mm hook is the ideal size for this ribbon: it creates a fabric that is compact yet not rigid, perfect for bags that need to support weight without deforming. With a smaller hook (6-7mm), the result will be denser and more structured, suitable for rigid clutches; with a larger one (10mm), you will achieve a softer, draped effect, ideal for casual shoppers.
Recommended stitches are single crochet for compact projects and double crochet for faster work. The ribbon glides well over the hook and does not twist, so it is suitable even for those who are beginners with this type of yarn. For those wanting to experiment, it also works well with openwork or mesh stitches to create light, summery bags.
✨ Why Choose Soft Eco Ribbon
Compared to cotton or raffia ribbons, Soft Eco offers a more modern and urban look, perfect for creating accessories to pair with contemporary outfits. The faux leather effect sets it apart from traditional ribbons, and being vegan and cruelty-free makes it an ethical choice without compromising on quality. No inner lining is required to hide imperfections, as the fabric itself is uniform and clean.
In daily life, a bag made with this ribbon is easily cleaned with a damp cloth; it does not absorb odors and does not stain like cotton. It is the right choice for those who want a handmade accessory that looks store-bought, with the personal satisfaction of having crafted it themselves.
🎨 What You Can Make
Soft Eco Ribbon is perfect for shoulder bags, evening clutches, pouches, and shoppers. It also works well for smaller accessories such as coin purses, makeup bags, or bag organizers. Those who sell handmade items often use it to create modern bags for Etsy or craft fairs.
👩🎨 Suitable For
This yarn is suitable for both beginners and experts. The ribbon is easy to handle, does not split, and does not require perfect tension: even those new to crochet can achieve a clean result. Fast work with a large crochet hook makes projects less demanding compared to finer yarns.
It is popular among hobbyists wanting to create personal bags, artisans who sell handmade accessories, and those seeking a vegan alternative to leather. It is also highly sought after by those giving handmade gifts, as the final result has a professional and polished look.

📌 Important note
Yardage may vary by ±5 meters per ball due to the production process. For projects requiring multiple balls, we recommend purchasing all material at once to ensure dye lot uniformity. Shades may show slight differences between different lots, especially for light or intense colors. Store in a dry place: humidity does not damage the yarn but may temporarily alter its softness.
