🧵 The Yarn

Mare Stretch is an elasticized yarn made of 100% microfiber polyamide, designed for creating practical, comfortable, and pleasant-to-wear summer garments, handmade swimsuits, and beachwear accessories.

Thanks to its elastic structure and soft feel, it is perfect for creating crocheted bikinis, trikinis, sarongs, summer tops, and sports shorts. The yarn works well for both knitting and crocheting, offering a compact yet comfortable result.

Each ball weighs 50 grams and contains approximately 125 meters of yarn. It is worked with needles or a crochet hook No. 5-6, making it suitable even for quick and creative summer projects.


🧬 Why choose a microfiber polyamide yarn

Microfiber polyamide is a lightweight, durable, and pleasant-to-touch technical fiber. It is particularly suitable for garments that need to remain comfortable against the skin and maintain good elasticity during use.

Compared to more traditional yarns, Mare Stretch offers a greater sense of comfort and smooth processing. The microfiber gives the yarn a soft and flowing texture, ideal for summer garments that require lightness, fit, and practicality.

It is a perfect yarn for those who want to create personalized beach or pool garments, as well as for those who want to make tops, headbands, shorts, cover-ups, and coordinated accessories.


📦 Format and yield of the ball

Each ball of Mare Stretch weighs 50 grams and contains approximately 125 meters of yarn.

The yield depends on the type of stitch used, the tension of your hand, and the size of the garment to be made. As a guide:

  • For a simple bikini top, 1-2 balls may be enough.
  • For a complete bikini, approximately 2-3 balls are recommended.
  • For larger sizes, trikinis, or more covering work, 3-4 balls may be needed.
  • For sarongs, cover-ups, or wider tops, it is advisable to purchase more balls according to the chosen model.

For projects requiring multiple balls, we recommend purchasing the necessary quantity in the same order, to ensure the best possible color uniformity.


🧶 Recommended working method

Mare Stretch is worked with needles or a crochet hook No. 5-6.

A No. 5 crochet hook allows for a more compact and supportive fabric, ideal for bikinis, swimsuits, and tops that need to hold their shape well.

A No. 6 crochet hook, on the other hand, creates a softer and more flowing fabric, perfect for sarongs, cover-ups, light tops, and summer sports garments.

The yarn is suitable for both those with experience in making handmade swimsuits and those who want to experiment with an elasticized yarn for summer projects for the first time.

🧼 Maintenance and care

To keep the garment beautiful over time, we recommend gently washing the finished work, always following the instructions on the yarn label.

After use at the beach or pool, it is preferable to rinse the garment with fresh water to remove any salt, sand, or chlorine residue.

General advice:

  • Wash gently
  • Avoid bleaching
  • Do not wring the garment excessively
  • Air dry
  • Avoid direct heat sources
  • Store in a dry place

📌 Important note

The yardage of 125 meters is approximate and may vary slightly. For projects requiring multiple balls, we recommend purchasing the entire quantity needed in the same order, to reduce the risk of slight tonal differences between different dye lots.
