Scheepjes - Scheepjes Pastel Softfun Colour Pack - 12 x 20 Grams (1 Box)

I purchased this with some money that was gifted to me and I have absolutely no regrets! I was able to use the entire pack to crochet this beautiful blanket. It was fun to sit and rearrange the colours into a rainbow order that suited me as well as the actual crochet part. I'm not always a fan of Scheepjes as a lot of their yarns are loosely spun and will untwist constantly, however Catona doesn't do this and is a very firmly wound yarn, that being said it is very soft and drapes gorgeously. Given that these are 4ply I used a 3.5 hook and that was quite perfect for it. A tiny complaint was that I really wish the colour names were printed on the bands as this is a big thing for me I must admit - this line has so many beautiful names and it's ashame to not show them off. I personally went through the box and wrote on the names because this made them easier to identify when I had to make the colour order list for my blanket. I think the box is pretty good value as the price of £65 puts each ball at around 60p and as a comparison, my regular yarn purchasing website of Wool Warehouse would put single 10g balls at 79p. Only thing I disliked in the long run after lovingly using this blanket in the summer months was that it pills quite badly, I was always finding it covered in coloured fuzz. But it's not the biggest deal ever, I still don't regret buying or making this!

Good yarn in stunning colours.

Order arrived on time in excellent condition. I am planning to make a multicoloroured shawl so this set is ideal for the purpose. The colors are beautiful, the quality is good.

Exceptional value nice decent thickness for cotton acrylic lovely quality to use fantastic for granny square to have such a great colour variety keeping cost down. Soft and glides easy on crochet hook nice managable size highly recommend

I had read in the reviews that this was smaller than people expected, but was still caught off guard! The whole box is a similar size to a jigsaw puzzle box. But the wool looks lovely, and my mother-in-law (who is a keen knitter) was absolutely delighted when she opened her gift this morning, not phased in the slightest that this is more of a box of samples. No doubt it will be used to create some beautiful stripy/patchwork items or toy clothes. I got it to go with the book “Knitted Animal Friends” by Louise Crowther, as she recommends Scheepjes Stonewashed yarn. However, although the 10g balls of wool may be enough for making some of the clothes, there isn’t enough of each colour to knit a whole animal.

I’d seen this set a few times so decided to treat myself. Beautiful quality yarn. Lovely to crochet with. Wonderful lively colours. Had fun using the little balls to make up a hexagon blanket. Joyful

Great Yarn as always from Scheepjes. Good price for this pack too

I bought this box of scheepjees Catona yarn some time ago, to be honest it is such a joy exploring all the 10gram balls of yummy colours it seemed a shame to break into them. After a few weeks of deliberation I decided to use them on a tapestry using all the yarn in the box. The yarn is a great quality 4ply and would be suitable for crochet and knitting

I bought this just to see this. It's cute. I wish these were bigger thou.

Sehr schöne Wolle, große Farbauswahl. Besonders die Riverwashed Knäuel gefallen mir sehr gut. Die Wolle ist schön weich und deshalb ideal für meine Patchwork-Decke, die ich gerade stricke. Hab das Garnpaket nochmal nachbestellt. :-)

Bella lana, colori stupendi. Azzeccatissimi questi gomitoli i per creare piccoli amigurumi o decorazioni.

Love all the colors and of course the yarn. Bought this for making amigurumi. Perfect size for the cloths and more!

When the Terrazzo Color Pack arrived, I just stared at it for an entire week, marveling at the beautiful muted palette and examining the speckles. I took out the tiny skeins, rearranged the colors and showed the sampler to a friend who said—only half joking— out that I might have to buy another one to keep and admire. I finally took a deep breath and decided to use a few of my least favorite colors. This yarn is indeed magic: every color (even the disfavored ones) looks stunning and its “grabby” texture actually helps prevent uneven tension. Terrazzo is a pleasure to work with once you get used to its characteristics. It is a rather fragile yarn and the strands vary in thickness, so not recommended for an absolute beginner. And of course, you’ll want to buy an additional box just to look at!
