Scheepjes - Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack - 80 x 10 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 😀

Beautiful selection of colours and very well packaged.

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.

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!

Fantastic colours!

Excellent value compared to other sellers in the UK. Next day delivery too! This is a good way of seeing the different colours in real life to pick a colour scheme for a larger project. Picking colours off a screen is always tricky and I don’t have a local yarn shop that stocks a good range. I will use these mini balls to crochet a floral granny square blanket so can use all of the colours.

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

Lovely yarn, gorgeous colours. Excellent to crochet with, I will enjoy using this yarn

Un paquete de 80 ovillos distintos que es una maravilla, sobre todo al precio al que ha estado. La lana es resistente pero suave. Esta compuesta por 75% merino extra fine + 25% nylon. Los ovillos son de 10g (40m). Se puede mirar la pagina de Scheepjes para ver qué se puede hacer con ella. Recomiendo el CAL Festival of lights, que usa el paquete más dos ovillos extra de tamaño normal.

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

Very soft. Easy to work with. Love the colors.

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

Parfait de jolies couleurs
