Cotton Ribbon Yarn for Knitting and Crochet
Cotton Ribbon Yarn for Knitting and Crochet
Ribbon yarn is a flat tape-style yarn, soft and durable: it works equally well on a crochet hook or knitting needles and is ideal for sweaters, cardigans, summer tops and accessories with a compact, neat structure. Tessiland offers four ribbon yarn variants in cotton and blends — from the classic cotton ribbon to the lurex version, from the luminous braided effect to the wool blend gradient — all available in 200–250g cones, the ideal size for a complete fashion garment.

✨ TESSILAND STUDIOFrequently Asked Questions About Ribbon Yarn
What is cotton ribbon yarn and how is it used?
Cotton ribbon yarn is a flat tape-style yarn made from cotton or cotton blend fibres. Unlike a round ball of yarn, ribbon yarn has a flat cross-section that creates a compact, neat stitch — perfect for fashion garments such as tops, summer sweaters, cardigans and light jackets. It works on a 5–7 mm crochet hook or knitting needles and is machine washable at 30°C — practical and durable all year round.
Fashion ribbon yarn vs bag ribbon yarn: what is the difference?
Fashion ribbon yarns (this category) are cotton, viscose or wool blend tapes designed for soft wearable garments: they have a light weight, good drape and colours suited to fashion. Bag ribbon yarns, on the other hand, are made with stiffer constructions and often sold in 1 kg cones to provide the consistency needed for everyday bags. If you are looking for cord or ribbon yarn for bags, find them in our yarns for bags section.
How do I calculate how much ribbon yarn I need for a sweater?
Always start with a tension swatch: work a 10×10 cm square with your chosen stitch and hook or needle, then weigh how many grams you used for that area. Multiply that weight by the total surface area of the garment (in dm²) and add 10–15% for seaming. As a general guide, a summer top size M takes 1–2 cones of 250g, a cardigan 3–4, a coat 5–6. Bandelle wool blend comes in 200g cones rather than 250g — factor that into your calculation.
