🧵 The yarn

Microfiber Van Gogh Batik Lux by Miss Tricot Filati is a microfiber yarn with integrated lurex designed for those seeking softness, smoothness, and an elegant luminous effect in their projects. Its 97% PC microfiber composition ensures comfort and lightness, while the 3% metallic polyester provides a subtle yet refined touch of light that enhances every creation without being excessive.

Each 100-gram ball offers approximately 360 meters of yarn, providing excellent yield for medium and large projects. It works with 4 to 5 mm needles or hooks, making it smooth and pleasant for both beginners and experienced crafters. The batik shades develop naturally during knitting/crocheting, creating ever-changing and unique effects.

🧬 Technical composition: why it works

The 97% PC microfiber is a new generation synthetic fiber that replicates the softness of wool without the typical drawbacks of natural fibers. It doesn't itch, doesn't irritate the skin, is completely hypoallergenic, and maintains its shape over time due to its anti-pilling structure. This makes it perfect for garments in direct contact with the skin, even for children and people with sensitive skin or intolerance to animal fibers.

The 3% metallic polyester (lurex) is a very fine thread twisted together with the microfiber, providing a refined sparkle without making the yarn heavy. Unlike old, stiff, and uncomfortable lurex, this modern version is soft, flexible, and pleasant to the touch. The result is a yarn that shimmers elegantly, perfect for evening wear or to add a special touch to everyday sweaters and accessories.

📦 Ball format and yield

Each ball weighs 100 grams and measures approximately 360 meters, a truly generous yield that allows you to complete entire projects with just a few balls. With 3 balls, you can create a size S pullover; with 4 balls, a size M/L; with 5 balls, a size XL. For scarves and small shawls, 1-2 balls are sufficient, while for a large shawl or a light cardigan, 4-5 balls are needed.

Please note: the yardage may vary slightly between production lots (tolerance ±5%). For large projects, we recommend purchasing all necessary balls at once, choosing the same dye lot to ensure uniformity in the batik shades. Note: Van Gogh Batik Lux (with lurex) has 360m, while classic Van Gogh Batik (without lurex) has 400m.

🧶 Recommended working

4 to 5 mm needles are ideal for this yarn. With 4 mm needles, you get a more compact and defined fabric, perfect for structured sweaters and autumn-winter garments. With 5 mm needles, the result is softer and drapes better, ideal for shawls, oversized cardigans, and lightweight garments. A 10x10 cm swatch with 4 mm needles is approximately 24 stitches by 30 rows in stockinette stitch.

With a 4-5 mm crochet hook, the yarn glides very well and lends itself to simple stitches such as single crochet, double crochet, and shell stitches. It's perfect for openwork shawls, summer bags, and lightweight blankets. Thanks to its smoothness, it's also suitable for those new to crocheting. We recommend always making a swatch before starting your project to check tension.

✨ Why choose Microfiber Van Gogh Batik Lux

Compared to traditional wool yarns, microfiber solves the problem of itching and allergies without sacrificing softness. It is machine washable at 30°C, dries quickly, and does not require special treatments. Compared to cheap acrylic yarns, Van Gogh Batik Lux offers superior quality: it doesn't pill, maintains its shape even after numerous washes, and has a much softer and more pleasant feel.

The real strength is the integrated lurex effect: you don't have to combine a separate metallic thread, the yarn is ready to use. This saves you time and ensures a uniform result. The batik shades make each garment unique, with natural color transitions that enhance even the simplest stitches. It's a yarn that works for you, delivering professional results with minimal effort.

🎨 What you can create

Van Gogh Batik Lux is perfect for autumn-winter garments with a touch of light: sweaters, cardigans, pullovers, shawls, and scarves. Thanks to its softness and non-itchy quality, it's also ideal for children's clothing and accessories for the whole family. The batik effect enhances both simple stitches (stockinette, garter) and openwork and textured stitches.

👩‍🎨 Who is it suitable for

This yarn is suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters. Microfiber glides very well on needles and hooks, doesn't split, and doesn't create knots, making knitting/crocheting smooth and pleasant even for novices. The batik shades hide small tension imperfections, so it's perfect for those who want a professional result without stress.

It is highly appreciated by hobbyists looking for a versatile yarn for the whole family, by artisans who sell handmade items (thanks to the excellent quality-price ratio), and by those seeking hypoallergenic alternatives to wool. If you have customers with sensitive skin or young children, this yarn is a safe and high-quality choice.
