What is Rico Design Ricorumi DK and what makes it stand out?

Rico Design Ricorumi DK is a 100% cotton yarn created specifically for amigurumi and other small crochet or knitting projects. It comes in 25g balls with a very wide range of colours, a compact format that allows you to build up a large selection of shades without accumulating leftovers.

Rather than a 25g ball being «too small», this format is precisely what makes this yarn so practical for amigurumi: as a cotton yarn designed for small projects, it allows you to keep up to 80 colours from the range on hand without spending more on quantities you will not use.

What projects is Rico Design Ricorumi DK ideal for?

This yarn is designed for crocheted dolls and figures with well-defined stitches, although it is also suitable for other projects with frequent colour changes. It also works well as a DK yarn for intarsia, small accessories, crocheted or knitted jewellery and decorative details where only a small amount of each shade is needed.

Thanks to its Oeko-Tex® certification, making it suitable for babies, it is also suitable for toys and other items that come into direct contact with young children's skin; the full certificate number is detailed in the technical specifications.
