New: Rico Creative Paper

Rico Creative Paper—such a fun yarn, and it’s something different for a change! With this yarn made from 100% paper fibers, you can create the cutest home decor and summerprojects. Lanterns for balmy summer evenings, baskets for spring plants, and cool bags to take to a festival or the beach. Want to try something different? Get inspired by the possibilities of Rico Creative Paper!

With its new Creative Paper balls, Rico is introducing a surprising new yarn this season. But can we really call it “yarn”? After all, the balls are made of 100% paper fibers and don’t look anything like a ball of soft merino wool or shiny Crochet Cotton. But you can still create the cutest projects with it! Using a 6mm hook, you can make fun summer items like a beach bag and a summer hat, as well as trendy home decor such as placemats, rugs, and cheerful little baskets. Choose one of the beautiful shades and get started with Rico Creative Paper!
