Rico Design Ricorumi UNI & NEON cotton yarn for amigurumi, 25 g

Rico Design Ricorumi – cotton yarn for amigurumi

Ricorumi from Rico Design is a cotton yarn for crocheting amigurumi figures such as small animals, dolls and decorative figures. It is 100 % cotton. Each ball weighs 25 g and has a length of approx. 57.5 m. Choose your colour from the options.

Ricorumi comes in UNI and NEON colours. So you can crochet a figure in muted shades and pick out details such as cheeks, beaks or bows in a neon colour. The small 25 g balls suit figures where you need many colours but only a little yarn of each.

Crocheting amigurumi with Ricorumi

Amigurumi are usually worked in spiral rounds. To stop the toy stuffing showing through the stitches later, crochet fairly tightly and often use a slightly smaller crochet hook than you would normally choose for a yarn of this weight. Cotton has little elasticity: an even stitch pattern is clearly visible with this yarn, and a stitch marker at the start of the round helps you count.

Quantities and care

With approx. 57.5 m per ball, you can easily estimate the amount of yarn needed for the main colour of your figure. For larger figures, buy the main colour in the full quantity needed in one go, ideally from the same dye lot so that no colour differences appear. The yarn can be machine washed at 30 °C.
