Rico yarns: a little play, a little sparkle, endless possibilities
Let your imagination loose with Rico yarns at Folklore Yarns. From tiny amigurumi characters to sparkling jumpers, colourful socks and luxurious accessories, this collection is an invitation to experiment. Discover yarns that are lovely on their own and clever companion threads that transform the fabric you make. Pick a colour, try an unexpected pairing and see where your creativity takes you.
Two yarns, your own fabric
Give a favourite yarn a fresh personality with Rico’s Creative Make It range. These carry-along threads are designed to be held together with another yarn as you knit or crochet, adding colour, texture or sparkle without working the threads separately. Pair similar shades for subtle detail or choose a contrast that makes every stitch feel playful. A simple pattern can become something entirely your own.
Explore Make It Multicolour, a fine 100% wool thread that adds variegated colour, or Make It Flöckchen for little colourful flecks of texture. Swatch your combinations to discover how they change the look, feel and tension of your fabric. Half the fun is finding a pairing you hadn’t imagined.
Flowers, beads and a touch of shimmer
Fancy something a little unexpected? Creative Make It Flowers carries delicate flower-shaped sequins along a fine thread, while Make It Paillette adds a more understated sequin sparkle. For beaded accents, explore Make It Perlchen and Make It Rocaille, both featuring integrated glass beads. Or brighten your next knit with Make It Glitter. From a shimmering cuff to an all-over statement piece, you choose how much personality to add.
Small balls, big personalities: meet Ricorumi
