Scheepjes SKIES: Light & Heavy

Today Scheepjes is proud to present not one, but two new yarns: SKIES Light and SKIES Heavy!!

Made from an all-natural 100% Premium Blend cotton, the new Scheepjes SKIES yarns are so soft you’d think you were holding a cloud. Dyed using beautiful shades of Indigo; a textile dye dating back to 4000BC, these yarns feature subtle colour contrasts and a hand dyed appearance. Ranging from the pale blue of a partially overcast Spring morning, to the deep Indigo of a midday Summer sky, transforming then to the sinister olive greens which overcome grassy pastures in the midst of a storm, capture the beauty and volatility of our glorious atmosphere with SKIES.

The Scheepjes SKIES collection encompasses 2 lines of yarn; Scheepjes SKIES heavy and Scheepjes SKIES light. With each sharing the same fibre content and range of colours, their differentiating feature is their weight, being DK and fingering respectively. When washing for the first time, we highly recommend using a colour catcher as there may be small amounts of residual dye.

Both lines of Scheepjes SKIES are available in hanks of 100 grams, as well as assorted packs of mini 28g hanks. Scheepjes SKIES heavy is DK weight (100g = 170m) and Scheepjes SKIES light is Fingering weight (100g = 340m). Still unsure what the difference in weight is going to look like? Then check out the crocheted designs above, created by Marguerite Motif of Mobiusgirl, demonstrating this!
