How many balls do I need for each project?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>As a guide: a small toy (5-8 cm) usually requires 1 ball; a medium-sized one (10-15 cm), between 2 and 3 balls; and for crocheted accessories or keyrings, 1 ball is more than enough. If you combine this yarn with others from the Ricorumi DK range, you will need a smaller amount of each one.</p></div>

Is it suitable for projects intended for babies?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes. This yarn is certified to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, Class I (certificate 21.0.58783), the strictest level, intended for items for babies aged 0 to 3 years: the dye is colourfast to saliva. According to the manufacturer, the yarn is also suitable for vegans.</p></div>

How should I care for an item made with this yarn?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Machine wash on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 30 °C, using a mild detergent and no bleach. Do not tumble dry or iron; it is best to dry the item flat so that it keeps its shape. The glow effect remains after washing and simply needs to be recharged with light.</p></div>

Can it be combined with other yarns from the Ricorumi range?

<div class="faq-answer"> <p>Yes, it has the same yarn weight and tension as the rest of the range, so it can be combined within the same project without changing needle or hook size. It is commonly paired with other yarns from the same range —such as the plain cotton version or the multicolour-effect version— to create pieces with glowing sections alongside solid-colour or variegated areas within the same figure.</p></div></div>

What is Ricorumi Glow In The Dark DK?

Ricorumi Glow In The Dark DK is a 25g ball designed especially for amigurumi. It is a 100% polyester yarn that is plain white during the day and, after exposure to light, glows green in the dark for several hours.

Like the other yarns in the Ricorumi DK range, the recommended needle size is 3.00 mm to 4.00 mm, so it can be used seamlessly in any pattern designed for this range.

How does it combine with the other yarns in Rico Design's DK amigurumi range?

This yarn has the same yarn weight and tension as the rest of the range, so it can be mixed within the same project without changing needle or hook size. It is commonly combined with other yarns from the same range —such as the plain cotton version or the multicolour-effect version— to create pieces with glowing sections alongside solid-colour or variegated areas.

At Garmon Yarns you will find the full Rico Design range already available, so you can choose the colours and effects that best suit your project.

If you would like to see which other yarns share this same yarn weight, take a look at our selection of DK yarn, where you will find other options with compatible yarn weight and tension.

What can you make with Ricorumi Glow In The Dark DK?

This ball is designed for amigurumi, but it also works well for small toys, cot mobiles, crocheted accessories and decorative details that you want to stand out both during the day and at night. As it is a small ball, it is convenient for smaller projects or for adding just a few glowing details.

If this is your first project of this type, in our amigurumi yarn collection you will find other options for combining colours, textures and effects.

▷ Small toys with sections that glow in the dark.
▷ Cot mobiles and children's decorations.
▷ Crocheted accessories such as keyrings or pendants with a surprise effect.
▷ Glowing details and borders within larger projects.

How does the glow effect work and how long does it last?

The effect of Ricorumi Glow In The Dark DK works through phosphorescence: the yarn absorbs the natural or artificial light it is exposed to and, once the light is switched off, gradually releases it as a green glow that can last for several hours. The longer it is charged with light, the longer the glow lasts.

The effect can be recharged as many times as you like: simply leave the finished piece under a lamp or in sunlight for a while before storing it.
