What knitting needles and crochet hook do I need for Etrofil Jeans?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>The ball label recommends 4 to 4.5 mm knitting needles and 2 to 4.5 mm crochet hooks. With 4 to 4.5 mm needles, the reference tension is 24 stitches by 28 rows over a 10 x 10 cm square. For amigurumi, it is best to choose a crochet hook at the lower end of the range so that the fabric is tight and the stuffing does not show through.</p></div>

Is it similar to YarnArt Jeans?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, in terms of the main specifications. According to the product information published by its retailers, YarnArt Jeans has the same composition (55% cotton, 45% acrylic) and the same meterage (160 m per 50 g). They are yarns from different manufacturers, so the shade, twist and feel may vary slightly.</p> <p>If you are substituting one for the other in a pattern, make a tension swatch first to check that the tension matches.</p></div>

Can it be used for baby clothes?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes. This yarn has Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certification (No. 13.HTR.26003, issued by Hohenstein HTTI). This is the most stringent class of the standard, intended for products for babies and children up to 36 months old, and guarantees that the yarn has been tested for substances that are harmful to the skin.</p></div>

Can it be machine washed?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>That is not what the manufacturer recommends. The label advises hand washing at a maximum of 30°C, without bleach and without tumble drying, and drying the garment flat. Following these guidelines helps the garment retain its shape and colour for longer. If necessary, it can be ironed at a low temperature and professionally dry cleaned.</p></div>

How many balls do I need for my project?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>It depends on the pattern, size and your tension, so we do not give a fixed figure. On this product page, you can use the Garmon Yarns yarn calculator: select the type of project, size and technique, and it will give you an estimate. If you are following a pattern, always use the yarn quantity stated in the pattern.</p></div>

Is it suitable for amigurumi and punch needle?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes. Its fine twist creates well-defined stitches and an even finish, which is very useful for crocheted dolls and figures. The brand itself features this yarn in punch needle projects. As it is a Sport weight yarn, check that the size of your punch needle is suitable for it.</p></div></div>

What is Etrofil Jeans yarn and what makes it stand out?

Etrofil Jeans yarn is a Sport weight yarn that combines cotton (55%) and acrylic (45%), with 160 metres per 50 grams. The cotton provides freshness and a soft feel, while the acrylic adds lightness and colour stability. It is also certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I, so you can knit with complete peace of mind.

Its fine twist allows the yarn to glide easily over the needles and gives every stitch a clean, well-defined finish. It is an easy yarn to work with whether you are just starting out or have been knitting for years, and it comes in solid shades ranging from neutrals to bold and pastel colours.

What can you make with this yarn?

With this yarn, you can make lightweight spring and summer garments, baby clothes and accessories, amigurumi and decorative pieces. Its Sport weight works well with patterns that call for 4 to 4.5 mm knitting needles or 2 to 4.5 mm crochet hooks, and its generous meterage means you can complete small projects with very few balls.

▷ Tops, T-shirts and lightweight cardigans for the transitional seasons, kept fresh by the cotton
▷ For babies: jumpers, hats, booties and lightweight blankets
▷ Dolls and figures: Etrofil Jeans for amigurumi creates defined stitches and an even finish
▷ Punch needle, a technique that the brand itself features in projects made with this yarn
▷ Home décor: coasters, trivets, small baskets and table runners

Benefits of a yarn with 55% cotton and 45% acrylic

The result is a comfortable summer yarn that is easy to work with and suitable for delicate skin.

▷ Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Class I certification (No. 13.HTR.26003, Hohenstein HTTI), the class for products intended for babies up to 36 months old

▷ Clean, even stitch definition, ideal for amigurumi, textured stitches and lacework
