Terrazzo by Scheepjes : 733 Zaffiro

Scheepjes Terrazzo: 733 Zaffiro

We're thrilled to introduce you to Terrazzo by Scheepjes, and in particular, the gorgeous 733 Zaffiro shade. This yarn is more than just beautiful; it's crafted with care for our planet.

Terrazzo is made from a premium blend of 70% Recycled Mulesing Free Wool and 30% Recycled Viscose. Not only does this make it a delight to work with, but it also boasts some brilliant eco credentials. In fact, Terrazzo is Scheepjes’ first fully recycled fibre yarn, a testament to its commitment to sustainability.

To ensure your peace of mind, Terrazzo holds the trusted OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification. This gives you the confidence that the yarn is safe and free from harmful chemicals.

This felted tweed yarn offers a truly luxurious experience. It has a wonderful drape, a lightweight feel, and provides lovely warmth. The subtly speckled colour effect, reminiscent of classic terrazzo floors, is created by twisting fibres of contrasting and complementary colours together. It's a clever design touch that adds depth and character to every project.

Terrazzo is incredibly versatile and perfect for a diverse range of knitting and crochet projects. Whether you're creating clothing such as jumpers and cardigans, fashionable accessories, or even stylish homeware, this yarn is up to the task. Its versatility also extends to colourwork. It's a fantastic choice for combining with other yarns, such as our Kid Silk Mohair, for a touch of extra softness and texture.

Here are the essential details:

• Recommended hook/needle size: 4.00mm
• Gauge: 27 stitches x 35 rows to 10cm in stockinette stitch
• 50g (175m) ball

Care Instructions: To keep your finished project looking its best, we recommend a gentle HAND WASH to prevent further felting. This simple step will help preserve the quality and beauty of your handmade creation for years to come.
