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

Beautifully presented, lovely colours, not too bright or artificial looking. Lovely to work with (tapestry weaving) and very good value for money. Very pleased and will definitely buy again 😀

Excellent pack of mini balls of wool. The yarn is a soft cotton and easy to work with a wide range of colours. There is enough in the pack to make a decent sized blanket. Good quality, does not split when working.

Lovely colour pack, looking forward to using it.

Wow! So many colours, such a treat. I’ll never have to buy darning wool again! I can easily split the strands for mending cashmere and fine knitted garments too. Highly recommended.

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!

Beautiful selection of colours and very well packaged.

I've had a couple of these boxes before and was mildly disappointed with the colour quality. This batch is a little muted compared to the others I've had in the past. That said still a great yarn and as ever easy. To work with. I'll still stick with Scheepjes for my big blanket projects

I have worked with metropolis before and needed another colour pack for a project I am going to do. Did a bit of searching on line and came across this pack which was around 70% cheaper than other retailers. Arrived within 24 hours of ordering. This yarn is so soft and beautiful colours.
