Scheepjes Stonewashed Yarn 826 Forsterite

Scheepjes Stonewashed Yarn 826 Forsterite

Scheepjes Stone Washed Yarn: it's got a hardy name, but trust us, it’s beautifully soft! This cotton yarn, with just a touch of acrylic for strength, has a lovely woolly feel that makes it a joy to work with. It’s a firm favourite here, and we think you'll love it too.

We're particularly fond of the Forsterite shade (number 826). It's a wonderfully versatile colour, like a smooth pebble you might find on the beach. The Stonewashed range is known for its subtle, gently faded appearance, giving your finished projects a pre-loved, vintage charm. Imagine using it for a gorgeous blanket, a stylish cardigan, or even some cute amigurumi toys!

The colours in the Scheepjes Stone Washed collection are designed to complement each other beautifully, so feel free to mix and match for truly unique creations. We think Forsterite works particularly well with shades like Moon Stone, Canada Jade, and Amazonite. Let your imagination run wild!

Here are the essential details you'll need:

• Composition: 78% Cotton, 22% Acrylic
• Recommended Needle Size: 3mm - 3.5mm
• Weight: 50 grams per ball
• Length: Approximately 130 metres per ball
• Gauge: 24 stitches and 32 rows to 10 cm using 3mm needles

Thinking about how much you'll need? As a general guide, for a typical baby blanket, you might need around 6-8 balls. For a larger adult blanket, plan for 15-20 balls. Of course, this will vary depending on the pattern you choose and your personal tension.

We are really excited to see what you create with Scheepjes Stonewashed Yarn. Don't forget to share your projects with us – we love seeing your finished work!

Happy crafting!
