Most Scheepjes yarns can be machine washed on a delicate cycle at 30 °C or 40 °C, although drying flat is recommended to help them keep their shape. It is always best to check the label on each ball, as the care instructions may vary from one range to another.

Scheepjes yarns: colour, quality and versatility
Scheepjes yarns are synonymous with colour variety and good quality. It is a Dutch brand designed for those who enjoy both the process and the result, with carefully twisted yarns and an even finish. At Garmon Yarns, we bring together a selection of products from the brand for crochet, knitting, amigurumi and decorative projects, with options for every level.
Its catalogue ranges from cottons to soft acrylics, blends and plush-effect fibres, as well as mini ball packs. Many people also search for it as “scheepjes yarn” or, because of its spelling, with variants such as scheepes or sheepjes; in all cases, they refer to this same brand.
Several of its cottons are very frequently used; if you would like to see more options in this fibre, you can visit the collection of cotton yarns for knitting.
What Scheepjes yarns are available and which one should you choose?
The choice depends on the technique and the finish you are looking for. As a general reference, these are the types of Scheepjes yarns you will find in the collection:
- ▷ Cottons: for amigurumi, lightweight garments and accessories.
- ▷ Soft acrylics and blends: for blankets and warm garments.
- ▷ Plush-effect yarns: for toys and textured details.
- ▷ Mini ball packs: for playing with lots of colours without using full balls.
Each product page shows its composition, weight and price, where you will find the details of each yarn and each colour range.
Some of its cottons are certified organic; we work with this attribute in our collection of GOTS-certified yarns.
Which Scheepjes yarn is best for amigurumi?
For amigurumi, cottons work especially well thanks to their firm twist, good stitch definition and wide variety of colours. Mini ball packs are very practical when a toy uses lots of colours in small quantities. The right weight depends on the size of the figure.
If your project is a crocheted toy, you will find more ideas and materials in the collection of yarns for amigurumi, where you will also find kits with everything you need to get started.
