EuroRoma Fiore: technical analysis
Linear density, fibre and hook
EuroRoma Fiore is a Lace (CYC 0) yarn from EuroRoma. Each 100 g ball holds 322 m (352 yd), a linear density of 322 m per 100 g, or about 100 yards per ounce. Density is the number that matters when you swap yarns: two yarns of the same weight class can differ by 20 % or more in meters per gram, and that difference goes straight into how many balls you buy.
Fibre content of EuroRoma Fiore: 85 % cotton, 15 % other fibres. Cotton is inelastic and absorbent: stitches look crisp and defined, the fabric holds its shape in amigurumi, bags and dishcloths, but garments can feel heavy and stretch downwards when wet. Its plied construction gives clear, even stitches and good stitch definition.
The label recommends a 2 mm hook, within the 1.4–2.25 mm range the Craft Yarn Council suggests for Lace (CYC 0) yarns, so standard patterns for this weight will give the expected fabric.
The manufacturer's tension is 24 stitches in 10 cm, so each stitch is about 4.2 mm wide.
