Détails

A natural feel, a vibrant texture, the pleasure of letting the material speak for itself. DHG's Ortica combines the softness of cotton with the slightly dry character of nettle in a lightweight, structured plant-based yarn.

Between the fingers, its slightly textured presence invites you to explore its stitches and definition. The softness of cotton balances the tenacity of nettle, giving fabrics depth and a personality all their own.

Whether knitted, crocheted, or woven, Ortica is for those who love expressive materials: a yarn chosen as much for the pleasure of working with it as for the character it brings to the creation.

DHG technical specifications for Ortica yarn: needles and crochet
Composition & footage

Composition: 75% cotton, 25% nettle.

Yardage: approximately 400 m per 100 g, or approximately 1,000 m per 250 g cone.

Packaging: 250 g cone sold individually. A quantity of 1 corresponds to one cone. Natural weight tolerance: ±3%.

Cotton adds softness, while nettle contributes to the yarn's structure and its slightly dry, textured feel.
Needles, crochet hook & gauge

Knitting: 17 stitches and 21 rows in stockinette stitch for a 10 × 10 cm gauge.

Crochet: 15 stitches and 18 rows of single crochet for a 10 × 10 cm gauge.

Choose your needles or crochet hook according to your tension and the desired finish, then check the dimensions on a gauge swatch.

Weaving: DHG tested Ortica on a 32:10 reed loom, which is 3.2 ends/cm. The yarn can be used as either warp or weft. The manufacturer describes it as easy to work with and having a dry but pleasant feel.
Origin & Manufacturing

Ortica is a yarn from the DHG brand, offered by Eco bien-être.

According to DHG, the raw materials are selected from different regions of the world based on the specific characteristics of each fiber. The countries of origin for the cotton and nettle are not specified in the manufacturer information provided for this product.

DHG states that the spinning of yarns such as Ortica is carried out largely using an artisanal approach in the textile district of Prato, Italy. This information concerns the processing of the yarn, not the origin of the fibers.
Care instructions

Before starting your project, make a sample and test how it behaves when washed, especially if you are combining several colors or light and dark fibers. Follow the care instructions on the yarn label.

DHG notes that fluorescent shades are more sensitive to light and may bleed with alkaline or harsh soaps, as well as during prolonged washing. Similar caution is recommended for dark and bright shades.

Dry your finished pieces away from direct sunlight, preferably in the shade.

Make sure you have enough yarn for the entire project, with a little extra: different dye lots can produce subtle shade variations that may be barely noticeable on the cone but become apparent once the yarn is worked up.

Colors shown on screen may vary depending on your device settings.
