Make It Pearl

Rico Make It Perlchen is for those who want to add a little extra detail to their knitting or crochet project without changing the yarn they've already fallen in love with. This delicate effect yarn has small beads distributed along the thread, which appear between the stitches and give the work a very special expression.

Perlchen is knitted or crocheted together with your regular yarn, and because the thread itself is so fine, it changes the look of your main yarn only very slightly. It's the small beads that get to be the detail.

You can use Perlchen throughout an entire sweater, cardigan, or shawl, but it's just as lovely when you only use it in individual sections. Try it, for example, in a ribbed edge, along a neckline, on a sleeve, or as a decorative border on a crocheted project. This way, even a small amount can bring something entirely new to a project.

🧶 How much do you need?

Make It Perlchen comes in 25 g balls with approximately 255 meters. For a whole sweater or cardigan where Perlchen is used throughout the entire work, you should typically expect around 4–5 balls, depending on size and model.

If you use Perlchen only for edges, sleeves, necklines, or other small details, you can, however, get by with 1 ball.
