Loading...Technicolor was born from the combination of four strands of natural jute and a vibrantly colored polyamide chain. The idea is to unite two seemingly distant worlds: the rusticity of a raw, undyed jute and the energy of a super-colored technical yarn.
It is not a yarn for all palates, but it is designed for those who love POP, chromatic explosions and, while preferring natural fibers, do not renounce a few touches outside the box. We envisioned it for accessories, textile jewelry and home decor, with one lowest common denominator: cheerfulness.
Although well-structured and with a certain stiffness (never excessive), Technicolor remains malleable between the fingers and is easy to work with. Indeed, with basic stitches and with needles or crochet hooks of the right proportion, the work turns out surprisingly fast.

The 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 are sourced from vocated and traditionally specialized regions, chosen to ensure high standards of purity, fineness and textile performance.
Once selected, the fibers enter a transformation process that combines technical expertise and craftsmanship savoir-faire. In fact, yarns such as Technicolor are made through painstaking twisting work, much of it carried out with a still highly artisanal approach in the textile district of Prato, a historic international center for fiber processing.
This balance between global sourcing and local processing allows the characteristics of each fiber to be maximized, resulting in yarns that combine quality, identity and manufacturing tradition.
With loom: Technicolor weaves very well, but since it is a highly decorative yarn, plain cloth is more than sufficient. With yarns with a strong personality, simplicity is always the best choice. Also particularly good for creating decorative accents.
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.
