RUBÍ CREATIVITY: A MERCERIZED COTTON IDEAL FOR GARMENTS AND AMIGURUMIS
Rubí Creativity is made of 100% mercerized and gassed cotton, a treatment that improves the strength of the cotton and enhances its natural shine. It is a mercerized cotton designed for knitting pleasure.

Mercerized cotton is characterized by offering: greater resistance to wear, soft and elegant shine, better stitch definition, and durability in garments.

Furthermore, its four-ply structure with a soft twist provides stability to the yarn without losing flexibility. The result is a balanced yarn that maintains the shape of the fabric and allows comfortable work in both crochet and knitting.

Each ball contains 125 meters per 50 grams, a suitable length for a wide variety of small to medium-sized projects.

BEHAVIOR WHEN KNITTING

A yarn that slides smoothly

One of the most outstanding qualities of Rubí Creativity is its behavior when knitting. It is a cotton for crochet and knitting that slides easily, making the knitting process comfortable and continuous.

If you are new to knitting, it is advisable to use bamboo or wooden needles to better control the yarn's glide. In contrast, more experienced knitters can especially enjoy this yarn with metallic needles, where its silky texture allows for quick and precise progress.

STITCH DEFINITION

Mercerized cotton stands out for its ability to clearly show the pattern of the fabric. In the case of Rubí Creativity, the stitch definition is clean and regular, allowing you to work both basic stitches and more elaborate textures.

To achieve the best final result, it is advisable to block the piece once the project is finished, as this helps to settle the stitches and improve the structure of the fabric.

A STRONG AND DURABLE YARN

One of the advantages of cotton is its natural strength, which is especially important for garments or accessories that are used frequently.

In the case of Rubí Creativity, the mercerized and gassed treatment not only provides shine but also greater stability to the fiber. Once the project is knitted, the result is a fabric resistant to daily use and the passage of time.

Furthermore, the yarn has a slight elasticity once knitted, which helps garments maintain their shape without being rigid.

During seasonal changes, it is advisable to store garments in boxes or storage bags that allow the fabric to breathe.
