Specialized Technique for Crochet Bags
For creating crochet bags with Dylan Elite Yarn, we recommend a particular technique that involves using slightly smaller hooks compared to the indicated standards. This methodology, which can lead to using 5-6 mm hooks instead of the traditional 6-7 mm, allows you to obtain a more compact and defined structure, essential for creating robust and sophisticated bags. The result is a dense and consistent fabric that perfectly maintains its shape over time, ideal for accessories that must combine aesthetic beauty with practical functionality.
Professional Care and Maintenance
To preserve the beauty of Dylan Elite Yarn over time, it is essential to follow specific care procedures that respect the delicacy of the fibers and maintain the intact brilliance of the lurex. Washing must be done exclusively by hand in cold water, using delicate detergents specific for mixed fibers. Drying must be done strictly flat, away from direct heat sources and intense sunlight. These precautions guarantee that creations made with this premium chenille yarn maintain original softness, shape and luminosity, preserving the qualitative investment over time.
