Scheepjes Catona Denim - 135

Order scheepjes cotton 8 they arrived on time with a few freebies which was a nice surprise. Can't fault Yarnalicious. Many thanks Woo.

Only bought this for 1 pattern but I've found a few more I'll try at some point. It's written using American rather than UK stitch terms/names so I'll need to be a bit careful because there isn't a huge difference between the 2 until you're actually crocheting, then you can end up in a bit of a pickle, but it's not the end of the world. Each pattern has some information on the inspiration for them which makes for interesting reading. Only thing I'm not keen on is the orange writing on a black background. I find it really difficult to read without squinting or using a brighter light but that could just be my eyesight and personal preference. Apart from that I'm glad I got the book and I'm looking forward to trying the patterns, think there's 2 more books before this one so I'll look at buying them in the future.

I love the Scheepjes Bookazines; I have a couple a home and just ordered the latest. Shimmerland does not disappoint, the artwork is great and make you dream - it's hard to choose what to make, if only I could crochet and knit quickly (and had the monies..) I would make everything!

I purchased the scheepjes merino soft yarn for the not quite finished project below from Yarnalicious. It was an excellent experience. First, They had all the yarn I needed in stock. The site was easy to navigate and use. I purchased from the US and had no problems with a US dollar exchange and knew exactly the price in USD. My purchase was sent promptly with emailed acknowledgement and it arrived quickly and in good shape. Inside the package the yarn was in a nice little mesh bag with a special little surprise that I thought was cute. Thanks for the great service, I look forward to doing more business with you.

I chose this shop to buy yarn because it was the cheepest option and they posted faster me my pack than the other shops. And I've got very cute surprises again 🤗 I'm so satisfied with this wee shop.

Absolutely love this yarn! Here is a picture of the top I made.

Makes fantastic use of colour gradient of the yarm

I'm crocheting my favourite shawl and to be honest, I'd like to make one in every colour! Yarnalicious had the one I had searched for.... Whirl and whirlette is nice yarn to work with as it's delicate and doesn't unravel. Washes and wears well. Buy some! (Patten is available to buy on Ravelry.com. Grinda shawl by www.lillabjorncrochet.com) Started shawl in "Mid morning moocharoo". Finished one is in "Blackcurrent squeeze me" You'll need a whirl and a toning whirlette to make one like this.

One of my favourite yarns & your shop is so quick to dispatch.
Delighted with order.
I make to sell & my last delivery of Terrazzo was for a granny square cardi in Scarletta for a commission. Many thanks xx
