🧵 The yarn

The Metal Lycra Ribbon MAS Srl is a flat, stretchy yarn with a metallic effect designed for those seeking a quality lycra ribbon for elegant and impactful handmade projects. Perfect for creating bags, clutches, ceremonial pouches, and fashion accessories, this metallic lycra ribbon combines the practicality of polyester with the softness of elastane, ensuring smooth crafting and a brilliant, professional finish.

Each 100g ball offers approximately 45 meters of flat ribbon, about 2cm wide, ideal for crochet work with a 6-7mm hook. The soft texture and shiny laminated effect make this yarn perfect for glam projects, evening accessories, and creations that demand a refined and modern finish.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 95% polyester content ensures durability, structural stability, and longevity. This synthetic fiber maintains the shape of the finished item even after prolonged use, resists deformation, and preserves its brilliant metallic effect without fading. Polyester also makes the ribbon easy to clean and quick-drying, ideal for accessories that need to maintain a polished appearance over time.

The 5% elastane adds that slight, controlled elasticity that makes crafting smoother and more enjoyable. Elastane allows the ribbon to glide better on the hook, reduces fatigue during work, and ensures that the finished project maintains uniform tension without becoming stiff. This combination is perfect for bags and clutches that need to be structured yet flexible.

📦 Ball format and yield

Each 100g ball contains approximately 45 meters of flat ribbon. With just one ball, you can create small accessories like coin purses or decorative handles. For a 20-30cm clutch bag, you'll need about 3-4 balls, while a medium bag measuring 30x40cm will require approximately 5-6 balls, depending on tension and stitch used.

We recommend purchasing all necessary balls in a single order to ensure color and dye-lot uniformity. Variations between different dye-lots can be visible, especially with metallic colors. Store balls away from direct light to maintain the brilliance of the laminated effect.

🧶 Recommended crafting

The recommended hook size is 6-7mm. This size ensures smooth crafting and a compact yet not rigid result. With a 6mm hook, you'll achieve a denser, more defined structure, ideal for bags that need to support weight. With a 7mm hook, the work will be softer and lighter, perfect for evening clutches and decorative pouches.

The ribbon glides well on the hook thanks to its elastic component. To achieve the typical tubular appearance of lycra ribbon, work with slight tension, gently pulling the yarn before inserting the hook. This technique is also suitable for beginners who want to achieve a professional result from their first projects.

✨ Why choose Metal Lycra Ribbon MAS

Unlike cotton or opaque polyester ribbons, Metal Lycra offers a brilliant metallic effect that gives your creations an elegant and modern look without the need for additional decorations. The laminated effect catches the light and makes each bag or accessory a unique piece, perfect for special occasions or as a high-quality handmade gift.

The slight elasticity makes crafting faster and less tiring compared to rigid ribbons. The yarn glides smoothly, does not twist, and maintains uniform tension throughout the project. The final result is a structured yet comfortable bag or clutch that maintains its shape over time without stiffening or deforming.
