🧵 The Cord
The AFRIKA Lux Cord by Petri & Grossi is a 2mm metallic cord designed for those who want to create crochet bags and accessories with a touch of light and modernity. Its composition of 90% polyester and 10% metallic polyester gives it an elegant glossy finish, perfect for projects that need to stand out. The maxi 500g size makes it ideal for completing medium-sized bags without having to change skeins.
This cord is worked with a 3.5-5mm crochet hook depending on the hand and the chosen stitch. Its soft and smooth texture makes it easy to work with even for those who are new to metallic cords. It does not fray during working and retains its shine even after numerous passes of the crochet hook.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
The 90% polyester base guarantees strength, durability over time, and ease of maintenance. Polyester is a synthetic fiber that does not absorb moisture, does not deform, and maintains the structure of the bag rigid and well-defined. This means that your creations will not lose their shape even after months of daily use.
The 10% metallic polyester adds the luminous effect that makes this cord unique. It is not a simple surface reflection: the metallic thread is integrated into the structure of the cord, so the shine remains uniform and does not fade over time. This makes it perfect for evening bags, elegant clutches, and fashion accessories that need to catch the light.
📦 Skein Size and Yield
The 500g size is designed to complete medium-sized projects without interruptions. With one skein you can make a medium bag (about 25x30cm) or two smaller clutches. The 2mm diameter offers a good balance between working speed and stitch definition.
For larger projects such as shopping bags or tote bags, allow 2 skeins. We recommend purchasing all the necessary material at once to avoid shade differences between different batches, especially in metallic colors where variations are more noticeable.
🧶 Recommended Working Method
The recommended crochet hook size is 3.5mm to 5mm. If you want a firmer and more structured bag, use a 3.5mm crochet hook: the stitch will be tighter and more compact. If you prefer a softer and more draped result, choose a 4.5-5mm crochet hook. The cord glides well on both sizes without resistance.
The single crochet is the most used for bags because it creates a compact and durable surface. The double crochet works well for decorative baskets where you want a more openwork effect. Thanks to the smooth texture of the cord, even more complex stitches such as the fan stitch or star stitch result well-defined.
✨ Why Choose AFRIKA Lux Cord
Compared to standard matte cords, the AFRIKA Lux Cord offers visible added value: the metallic effect is not a detail, it is the main feature. If you are looking for a cord for bags that need to stand out, this is the right material. It is not designed for casual projects, but for accessories that need to have personality.
The difference is especially noticeable in natural light: the cord catches reflections and creates a dynamic effect that changes depending on the angle. This makes it perfect for evening bags, event clutches or fashion accessories that need to be photographed and shared on social media.
🎨 What You Can Make
The AFRIKA Lux Cord is versatile but shines in projects where the luminous effect is an added value. Evening bags, elegant clutches, ceremony clutches, decorative baskets for the home, table runners for special occasions, fashion accessories such as watch straps and handles.
👩🎨 Who It Is Suitable For
The AFRIKA Lux Cord is suitable for both beginners and experts. Its soft and smooth texture makes it easy to work with even for those who have never used a metallic cord. The 2mm diameter is thick enough to make the stitch visible, but not so thick as to be difficult to handle.
It is chosen especially by hobbyists who sell their creations, because the metallic effect increases the perceived value of the finished product. It is also perfect for those looking for materials for handmade gifts that need to have a professional and polished look.

📌 Important Note
The skein weight may vary by ±5% from the stated 500g, according to production standards. Metallic colors may show slight shade variations between different batches: we recommend purchasing all the material needed for your project at once. The metallic thread is delicate: avoid pulling excessively during working to preserve the luminous effect.
