🧵The yarn
The SUPER SKAI Ribbon by Cucirini Tre Stelle is a faux leather effect ribbon designed for those looking for a material that combines the refined look of leather with the practicality of working with a synthetic yarn. Made of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, this ribbon has a compact and uniform surface that perfectly imitates the texture of leather, making it ideal for bags, clutches, and fashion accessories with a professional look.
Each ball weighs 200 grams and offers approximately 90 meters of ribbon, 1.7 cm wide, perfect for working with crochet hooks from 6 to 10 mm. The soft and slightly elasticized texture glides smoothly on the hook, allowing for homogeneous and precise stitches from the first row, without smudging or irregular tensions.
🧬Technical composition: why it works
The 95% polyester guarantees resistance, durability, and ease of maintenance. Unlike cotton ribbons that tend to absorb moisture and dirt, polyester keeps the surface clean longer and does not deform with use. The synthetic fiber also allows for that compact and uniform finish typical of leather, with a texture that does not fray or pill.
The 5% spandex adds controlled elasticity to the ribbon, allowing the material to adapt to the work without deforming. This means that the bag or accessory made maintains its shape over time, without sagging or stretching. The elasticity also facilitates the work, making the SUPER SKAI suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters.
📦Ball format and yield
Each 200-gram ball offers approximately 90 meters of ribbon. For a clutch with a 16-18 cm click-clack closure 2 balls are sufficient, while for a medium structured bag or a shoulder bag 3-4 balls are needed. For larger bags or bucket bag models with a drawstring, the requirement increases to 4-5 balls.
We recommend purchasing all the balls needed for the project at once, to ensure they come from the same dye lot. Even if the differences between lots are minimal, they could be visible on large surfaces like bags.
🧶Recommended processing
SUPER SKAI is worked with a crochet hook from 6 to 10 mm. The choice of size depends on the desired effect: with a 6-7 mm hook, a more compact and structured work is obtained, ideal for bags that need to maintain their shape. With an 8-10 mm hook, the work is softer and faster, perfect for shoulder bags or casual bags.
A small trick for beginners: the ribbon tends to roll up during processing. To always keep the faux leather side visible, pass the ball through a small paper cup with a cross-cut at the base — this way the ribbon comes up to the hook already turned in the correct direction.
✨Why choose SUPER SKAI Ribbon
Compared to cotton or jersey ribbons, SUPER SKAI offers a decidedly more refined and professional look. The leather-effect texture gives creations an elegant look difficult to achieve with other materials, making it perfect for those who want to create accessories to sell or give as gifts with a result that does not look out of place next to industrial products.
The 5% elastic component makes a difference in the daily life of the accessory: the bag maintains its shape even after months of use, without sagging or deforming. Furthermore, polyester is much easier to clean than cotton — just wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface stains, without the need for complete washing.
🎨What you can create
SUPER SKAI is ideal for projects that require structure and an elegant look. Perfect for structured bags, evening clutches, pouches, shoulder bags, fanny packs, belts, and fashion accessories. Thanks to its compact texture, it is also suitable for decorative details such as covered handles, flaps, applied pockets, or reinforced edges.
👩🎨Who it is suitable for
SUPER SKAI is suitable for both beginners and experienced crafters. The soft texture and smooth flow of the yarn make it easy to work with even for those with little crochet experience. Basic stitches (chain, single crochet, double crochet) are sufficient to create beautiful projects.
This yarn is particularly appreciated by those who make bags and accessories for artisan sales or gifts, thanks to the professional appearance of the final result. Even those looking for a vegan alternative to leather for handmade projects will find an ideal solution in SUPER SKAI.

📌Important note
The indicated length (90 meters) is approximate and may vary slightly from ball to ball. For projects requiring multiple balls, we recommend purchasing all the necessary material at once to ensure it comes from the same dye lot. Even if the differences between lots are minimal, they could be visible on large surfaces. The ribbon is rolled with the faux leather side out — during processing it tends to roll up: use the paper cup trick to keep it always turned correctly.

Ottimo materiale e si lavoro benissimo
FALLATO: arrivate le bobine praticamente inutilizzabili, secche e con colori sbagliati
Non penso nulla perché la fettuccia non mi è arrivata -e voi di Mercerie mi avete risposto che non potete fare nulla.Il corriere non ha consegnato- e sto in un palazzo dove c’è SEMPRE la portineria dal lunedì al venerdì. Da Bartolini mi dicono di andarlo a ritirare dove non posso arrivare (pieno centro) e che non riprogrammano la consegna. Pessimi tutti - una situazione assurda in cui nessuno ha fatto il proprio lavoro come si deve. E io ho pagato in anticipo e ora non ho la fettuccia e, di sicuro, non comprerò più su Mercerie - e parlerò malissimo di Bartolini.
