Scheepjes Yarn and Kits

Scheepjes yarn is known for its bold color range and the variety of bases it offers, from smooth cottons to self-striping gradient cakes, which makes choosing the right one largely about project and texture.

Matching Scheepjes Yarn to Your Project

For amigurumi, garments, and home decor pieces that need crisp stitch definition, a mercerized cotton like Scheepjes Catona is a popular choice, and it's available in small colour packs for multicolor work. If you want color changes built in without carrying multiple skeins, Scheepjes Whirl and Woolly Whirl cakes are designed to striping automatically as you work, which is ideal for shawls and blankets. Textured yarns such as Stone Washed and River Washed add a heathered, cotton-linen look suited to garments and accessories alike.

Kits vs. Yarn by the Skein

If you'd rather not calculate yardage or hunt for a matching pattern, a Scheepjes kit bundles the yarn with a project design, which is especially helpful for larger pieces like the Secret Garden blanket. Buying yarn separately gives you more freedom to substitute colors or adapt an existing pattern from crochet patterns or knitting patterns.

Pairing with Other Brands

If you enjoy working with Scheepjes, you may also like exploring similar gradient and solid-color options from Cascade Yarns or Malabrigo Yarn, both of which offer comparable variety in weights and colorways for knitters and crocheters.
