Scheepjes encourages you to experiment with colour in the new Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL. For 12 weeks long, Scheepjes Blogger Rachele Carmona of Cypress Textiles takes you through this intriguing CAL (Crochet-A-Long) that challenges you to push your limits in the wonderful world of colour. The CAL starts on 11 January 2023 and the first Tips & Tricks will be shared the week before. The design, based on different motifs, gives the adventurous crocheter complete creative freedom to create countless colour combinations, in order to create a unique blanket. The pattern of the CAL is suitable for both beginners and the advanced crocheter. Scheepjes offers numerous supporting materials, such as Tips & Tricks, blog posts and video tutorials in Dutch and English for right- and left-handed crafters, created by Scheepjes Blogger Esther of It's All In a Nutshell Blog. Scheepjes also invites each participant to the official Facebook groups, where support and expertise are always available in the form of experienced moderators and admins. Of course, the (inter)national Scheepjes Community is also there to help you and encourage you! The pattern for the CAL is revealed in parts each week and is available as a free PDF file via the Scheepjes website and the official Scheepjes Facebook groups.

The Metropolis kit contains 17 balls of Scheepjes Metropolis of 50 grams, each ball holding 200 metres of yarn, in three different basic colours, as well as a Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack, with all 80 different shades of Scheepjes Metropolis in 10-gram balls with a running length of 40 metres per ball. Scheepjes Metropolis is made from 75% extra fine Merino Wool and 25% Nylon.

The Colour Lab CAL kit also includes the following extra items:

  • a Limited Edition Scheepjes lanyard with an Access-All-Areas pass for exclusive extra content
  • a Tapestry needle on a printed card that assigns each participant to a 'CAL team'
  • a Classified Colour Lab booklet with a letter from the designer, the Periodic Colour Tables, colouring pages and additional colour theory information in both Dutch and English to help you create unique colour combinations

Additional supplies not included in the kit are stitch markers and crochet hooks in sizes 2.00, 2.50 and 3.00mm, or any other crochet hook you need to obtain the right tension. The finished blanket made with Scheepjes Metropolis will measure approximately 160 x 142cm.

The free individual patterns will be released on Wednesday 12:00h CET on Official Facebook Groups. Because some motifs require more work than others, some patterns take up a week, others two weeks. We have provided the overview below for you to mark your calendars!

Excellent

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.

Fantasticious

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.

Lovely yarn to work with. Lovely results. They stock every colour at this shop.

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.

Excellent, easy shawl pattern

I had bought some of the scheepjes secret garden yarn to try on one project, but hadn't realised it was so textured so looked about for a pattern it was designed for and bought this scheepjes pattern for a shawl. The shawl is easy to knit, just the basic stitches, however the pattern clearly shows not only the balls of yarn used, their colour numbers and which one makes which section, but also shows all the other colour options available, which is great, so you can customise the shawl easily.
I would have preferred a digital version as the am sight impaired, but I knit with a Freind who helps me, but it should really be available digitally so that everyone can follow the pattern.

Excellent service

I have received three balls of Scheepjes Whirl and the service was 100% from start to finish. The Scheepjes cakes are a little annoying in that they have numerous knots. These are supposed to be able to be worked in as you go. I have found that you need, very carefully, to remove the surplus yarn around these knots. The colour change is very gradual and works well

I enjoy this yarn so much, waiting for the gradual shift in colour as I knit and feeling how soft it is.

Very impressed. So easy and quick delivery. Will definitely order more yarn when I need it.

So impressed with yarnalicious. Only found as I was searching for a particular yarn that was out of stock elsewhere. I was a bit nervous of trying them but I was so impressed. Easy to order, quick delivery and a little bag of stitch markers as a gift. Such a lovely touch. Will definitely use again.
