Loading...Coco is a yarn inspired by the Chanel aesthetic (hence the name), and just as was the case with the famous fabrics used by the iconic designer, Coco was born from the coming together of very different elements: a metallic foil to create light effects, mohair to give softness and three-dimensionality, and viscose as a trait d’union. The result is original, luxurious and unusual.
Outlet products.
Coco can be found in the outlet only because it is a discontinued item. Therefore, once the stock runs out, it will not be restocked. Take advantage of the reduced price while you can!

Raw materials used in DHG's yarns are selected and purchased from areas of the world where each specific fiber expresses the best natural and performance qualities. Depending on the type, the fibers come from vocated and traditionally specialized regions, chosen to ensure high standards of purity, fineness and textile performance. Vengono poi lavorate in Italia.
Coco is worked with fairly thick needles and crochet hooks, ideally around 6/6.5 but also 7 for embossed patterns in relief. The surfaces you get are very even, soft and compact at the same time, able to hold its shape correctly both during working and when finished. It can also be used for weaving and embroidery projects.
Tips for working and care.
Our colors generally have high light fastness and wash fastness. Exceptions are fluorescent colors, which have low light fastness and may release color in the presence of alkaline or harsh soaps and with prolonged washing. The same applies to dark, bright colors. In all these cases, it is essential to test a small sample before starting the project, especially if these materials are combined with raw or light-colored fibers. In any case, it is always a good idea to dry artifacts away from direct sunlight, preferably in semi-shade.
A practical tip: Buying balls or spools of different baths can cause what is known as the barred effect: subtle variations in shade that seem invisible when comparing balls and spools, but become apparent once worked. Therefore, always be sure to buy some yarn in excess of what is needed for your project. We will be sure to send you spools and balls of the same lot.
