Discreet Brilliance and Refined Texture
The particularity of Cotton Yoko lies in its fashion soul: the multicolor sequins are not simply applied, but integrated into the yarn's structure itself, distributing harmoniously to create iridescent reflections that develop naturally during working. This process guarantees a luminous effect that is never excessive, enhancing every worked stitch and making each garment unique in its kind. The result is a dynamic fabric that changes appearance with light and body movement, giving personality even to the simplest and most linear models. The balanced composition ensures optimal lightness and structure, perfect for garments that must be comfortable during the hottest days.
Creative Versatility for Fashion Summer
Cotton Yoko lends itself magnificently to creating glamorous summer garments ranging from lightweight tops to openwork sweaters, from open cardigans to elegant wraps. The balanced specific weight makes it ideal also for fashion details and accessories that require structure but not weight. The palette of vivid and current colors adapts perfectly to contemporary trends, while the sequin effect adds that brilliant touch that transforms every garment into a statement piece. Creative possibilities are infinite: from monochromatic projects that enhance the luminous effect to combinations with other tone-on-tone yarns to create truly unique textures and light contrasts.
Optimal Working and Recommended Techniques
To maximize the characteristics of Cotton Yoko, we recommend using 3.5 mm needles or 4.5 mm crochet hooks, which guarantee the reference gauge of 18 stitches x 22 rows in 10x10 cm for stockinette stitch. The yarn lends itself particularly well to openwork and simple stitches, where the sequin light can be maximally enhanced. Lace stitches and asymmetrical constructions enhance the iridescent effect, while transparency plays create interesting contrasts between opaque and luminous areas. The uniform distribution of sequins along the yarn allows obtaining homogeneous results even with complex workings.
Professional Care and Maintenance
Cotton Yoko is designed to combine beauty and practicality: it is machine washable up to 40°C, preferably inside out and with delicate detergents to preserve sequin integrity. After washing, garments should be dried flat to maintain original shape and prevent deformations. For ironing, it is essential to follow the temperature indicated on the label and always use a protective cloth between iron and garment, to preserve the brilliance and integrity of sequins over time. This care attention guarantees that creations made with Yoko maintain their luminous fascination and original quality even after numerous uses, confirming the excellence of Made in Italy Tessiland.
