🧵 The yarn

MICROFIBRA New Cincillà by Miss Tricot Filati is a faux fur yarn made from 100% PL microfiber, inspired by the South American rodent famous for its extraordinarily soft fur. This bulky yarn offers all the softness and luxury of natural fur without using animal-derived materials, making it the ideal choice for anyone looking for an ethical, cruelty-free alternative.

Each 100-gram ball contains 65 meters of yarn and is worked with size 8–10 knitting needles or crochet hooks. The yarn features a central cord with thick, evenly spaced fringes that create its distinctive plush effect, soft to the touch and perfect for winter garments, fashion accessories, and creative decorations.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

100% PL microfiber is a new-generation synthetic fiber designed to replicate the feel of natural fur. Unlike traditional acrylic fibers, PL microfiber is exceptionally soft, does not itch against the skin, and is extremely lightweight despite its apparent volume. This makes it perfect for garments worn directly against the skin, such as scarves, cowls, and hats.

The fringe structure of New Cincillà yarn creates a bulky, three-dimensional effect that develops naturally as you work. The approximately 2.5 cm-long fringes are evenly distributed across the fabric, completely concealing the stitches and creating a soft, dense surface reminiscent of chinchilla fur. This also makes the yarn ideal for beginners working with novelty yarns, as any stitch imperfections are completely hidden by the fur effect.

📦 Ball size and yield

Each 100-gram ball contains 65 meters of yarn. Thanks to the microfiber's bulky effect, it goes a long way: one ball makes a hat, two balls make a standard-size scarf, while a sweater with sleeves takes about 8 balls. This makes New Cincillà an economical, quick-to-work yarn, ideal for last-minute projects or handmade gifts.

The suggested gauge is 10 stitches x 8 rows = 10 x 10 cm, worked with size 9 needles. We recommend buying all the balls you need for your project at once, as shades may vary slightly between different production batches. You can also work with a double strand, combining two shades to create blended or multicolored effects.

🧶 Recommended techniques

Recommended knitting needle sizes are 8–10, with size 9 ideal for creating a soft yet dense fabric. Smaller needles create a fabric that is too stiff to show off the fur effect, while larger needles produce fabric that is too loose and tends to lose its shape. Size 9 allows the fringes to spread evenly, completely covering the stitches without leaving visible gaps.

Size 8–10 crochet hooks also work perfectly with this yarn. We recommend simple stitches such as stockinette stitch for knitting or single crochet: the fur effect develops naturally without the need for complex stitches. Avoid openwork or overly loose stitches, as the yarn tends to hide the details of your work. New Cincillà is also perfect for beginners working with bulky yarns because it glides easily over your tools and does not split easily.

✨ Why choose MICROFIBRA New Cincillà

If you're looking for a faux fur yarn without ethical compromises, New Cincillà is the ideal choice. Unlike natural fur, this yarn is completely cruelty-free, requires no harsh chemical treatments, and is easier to care for over time. Compared with other inexpensive synthetic yarns, Miss Tricot Filati's PL microfiber offers superior softness that does not become stiff after washing or lose its volume with use.

The real advantage of New Cincillà becomes clear to the touch: it feels like soft, enveloping natural fur, without the plasticky feel typical of many synthetic yarns. This makes it perfect for accessories worn directly against the skin, such as scarves, cowls, and hats, where comfort is essential. Plus, its quick working time means you can complete projects in no time—ideal for anyone who wants immediate results without compromising on quality.

🎨 What you can make

New Cincillà is perfect for winter accessories such as scarves, cowls, hats, and gloves. Thanks to its bulky effect, it's also ideal for full garments such as cardigans, cropped jackets, and ponchos. Many crafters use it for trims and edging on existing garments, adding fur-effect collars, cuffs, or borders to sweaters and jackets. It's also perfect for creative projects such as bags, clutch bags, decorative cushions, and super-soft amigurumi plush toys for children.

👩‍🎨 Who it's for

New Cincillà is perfect for beginners because the fur effect completely conceals any stitch imperfections. You don't need to be an expert to achieve a professional result: even with basic stitches such as stockinette or single crochet, the finished fabric looks rich and full. The yarn glides smoothly over knitting needles and crochet hooks without splitting, making it easy and enjoyable to work with.

Typical buyers include hobbyists looking for quick projects they can finish in just a few hours, crafters who sell handmade accessories and appreciate the yarn's excellent yield, and people looking for original gifts they can make quickly. It's also popular with people who make items for Christmas markets or craft events because it allows them to build up stock quickly while maintaining a high-quality look and feel.
