🧵 The Yarn
MALINDI COLOR Cotton by Miss Tricot Filati is a fine yarn made of 100% gassed and mercerized cotton, designed for those who seek elegance, stitch definition, and comfort. The double gassing and mercerizing treatment gives the yarn a natural silky sheen, a soft hand, and superior resistance to repeated washing. This cotton is perfect for projects that require technical precision and a refined final result, whether knitted or crocheted.
Each 100-gram ball offers a generous 260 meters of yarn, enough to complete entire garments with just a few balls. It works with 3.5-4 mm knitting needles or a 3.5-4 mm crochet hook, ideal sizes for creating a compact yet lightweight fabric, perfect for summer clothing and technical work such as filet, tatting, and Irish lace crochet.
🧬 Technical Composition: why it works
Gassing is the first treatment applied to raw cotton: the yarn passes through a flame that burns off surface fibers, eliminating fuzz and making the surface perfectly smooth. This process is crucial for impeccable stitch definition, as every stitch or chain is clear and crisp. Gassing makes the yarn ideal for technical work such as filet crochet and tatting, where precision is everything.
Mercerization is the second treatment: the cotton is immersed in a caustic soda solution under tension, which modifies the fiber structure, making it stronger, shinier, and better able to absorb dyes. The result is a yarn that retains brilliant colors even after numerous washes, does not deform, and has a natural silk-like sheen. This double treatment makes MALINDI COLOR Cotton a professional-grade yarn, suitable for garments that need to last and maintain a polished appearance.
📦 Ball Size and Yield
With 100 grams and 260 meters per ball, MALINDI COLOR Cotton offers excellent yield. A single ball is enough to make a small accessory like a clutch bag, a medium-sized doily, or a pair of pot holders. For larger projects, the approximate yield is: women's top size M = 400-500g (4-5 balls), light cardigan size M = 600-700g (6-7 balls), medium handbag = 300-400g (3-4 balls).
We always recommend purchasing all the balls needed for your project at once, to ensure they come from the same dye lot. Differences between dye lots can be minimal but visible on large surfaces. The yardage may vary slightly (±5%) from the stated amount, which is a standard tolerance for natural yarns.
🧶 Recommended Working
3.5-4 mm knitting needles are the ideal size for this yarn because they allow you to create a compact yet not stiff fabric, with excellent stitch definition. With 3.5 mm needles, you'll get a denser fabric, perfect for bags and structured accessories; with 4 mm needles, the fabric will be softer and more drapey, ideal for summer tops and cardigans. The recommended gauge is 10x10 cm = approximately 20 stitches x 26 rows with 3.5 mm needles.
With a 3.5-4 mm crochet hook, MALINDI COLOR Cotton is perfect for technical work such as filet crochet, tatting, and Irish lace. The smooth surface of the yarn glides easily on the hook, and the stitch definition is impeccable, allowing for precise openwork and complex patterns. It is suitable for both beginners who want to learn advanced techniques and experienced crafters looking for a reliable yarn for professional projects.
✨ Why choose MALINDI COLOR Cotton
Compared to untreated cottons, MALINDI COLOR Cotton offers superior wash resistance, a natural sheen that enhances every stitch, and dimensional stability that prevents garments from deforming over time. The double gassing and mercerizing treatment makes it a professional-grade yarn, suitable for those who want to create garments that last and maintain a polished look even after years of use. It is not an inexpensive yarn, but the quality is evident from the very first stitch.
In everyday life, this yarn makes a difference in summer garments: a top made with MALINDI COLOR Cotton maintains its shape even after numerous washes, does not dull, and remains soft on the skin. The breathability of mercerized cotton is superior to standard cottons, because the fiber absorbs moisture better and releases it quickly, keeping the skin cool even on the hottest days.

MALINDI COLOR Cotton is versatile and suitable for a variety of uses: from elegant summer clothing to refined accessories, from home decor to advanced technical work.

👩🎨 Who is it suitable for
MALINDI COLOR Cotton is suitable for both beginners who want to learn advanced techniques like filet, and experienced crafters looking for a professional-grade yarn for complex projects.
