Scheepjes - Scheepjes Catona Colour Pack - 109 x 10 Grams (1 Box)

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

Love this box. I’ve barely even put a dent in it. Great for granny squares because there’s so many colors.

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. :-)

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!

Using this yarn to make a blanket ( Sophie’s Universe) Pretty good to work with. Only a small amount of splitting
