Knitting and Crochet

Approximate guidelines:

• Small accessories, decorations, amigurumi: approximately 1 ball
• Scarves, hats, small crochet projects: approximately 1–2 balls
• Size 42 sweater: approximately 5 balls

Yarn consumption may vary depending on the stitch pattern, tension and project style.

Tufting

For a 10 × 10 cm (4 × 4 in) area tufted with a pile height of approximately 10–15 mm, around 15 g of Icon Acrylic Kreoho® yarn is required.

This corresponds approximately to 1.1 – 1.8 kg of yarn per m², depending on pile height, density and tufting technique.

These values are indicative and may vary depending on machine settings, the number of strands used and individual working methods.

Applications

• Manual or machine tufting
• Punch needle
• Knitting
• Crochet
• Weaving
• Amigurumi
• Textile decorations

Compatibility

Icon Acrylic Kreoho® can be used in a variety of creative applications, both manually and with tufting-specific tools.

For tufting, it is compatible with all our Tufting Machines. It can be used for both cut pile and loop pile projects, taking into account machine settings, design density and the number of strands used.

Usage Configuration

For knitting and crochet projects, the recommended needle or hook size is 3 – 3.5 mm.

For tufting, Icon Acrylic Kreoho® can be used either single-strand or double-strand, depending on the desired result:

• 1 strand: greater detail precision and density control
• 2 strands: fuller coverage and a denser surface

Compared to many other yarns, the diameter of Icon Acrylic generally provides good yarn flow even when using a double-strand configuration.

However, it remains essential to check the needle eye size of the tufting machine.

Before starting the final project, it is always recommended to test the yarn on a small area to evaluate coverage, tension and overall results.

• The weight of the yarn ball may vary slightly

• We recommend purchasing the required quantity in a single order to avoid colour differences between dye lots

Care and Maintenance

Acrylic yarn is generally easy to wash and maintain.

We recommend following standard care instructions for acrylic fibres, avoiding high temperatures and aggressive treatments to preserve the quality of the material over time.
