Scheepjes Catona Colour Pack: 109 colours, 10 g balls, mercerised cotton

What is the Scheepjes Catona Colour Pack?

The Catona Colour Pack is a box containing all 109 colours of this mercerised yarn in 10-gram mini balls, so you can have the entire palette available without buying each shade separately. These are the little balls that Scheepjes calls ‘Cutie Pies’, designed to help you choose colours and plan your projects at your leisure.

Each mini ball weighs 10 grams and contains approximately 25 metres of yarn: enough for a colour swatch, a small detail or an amigurumi piece. The complete box weighs just over 2 kilos and is easy to store and carry.

What is the Scheepjes Catona Colour Pack colour chart like?

This pack works as a physical colour chart: it includes a sample of each of the 109 available shades, all with the same thickness and finish, so you can compare the actual colours in person before deciding which ones to buy in larger quantities. It is the most practical way to see how several colours look together before starting a large project.

The colours shown in the photos may vary slightly from one screen to another, and the actual shades may also differ slightly between dye lots, which is common with mercerised yarns.

These 109 shades are the same ones you will find in the individual ball from this range, which currently offers four additional neon colours that are not included in this pack.

What projects is this colour pack ideal for?

The Catona Colour Pack is ideal for multicolour projects where you need just a few metres of many different shades: granny squares, mandalas, multicoloured amigurumi with several different coloured pieces, and swatches for testing combinations before committing to a large single-colour project.

• ▷ Granny squares and blankets made from squares in assorted colours: each granny square can feature a different shade.
• ▷ Mandalas and circular wall hangings where each round changes colour.
• ▷ Small amigurumi that combine several pieces in different colours.
• ▷ Borders, details and decorative finishing touches without opening a full-size ball.

Advantages of having the entire palette in one pack

The main advantage of this pack is the variety of colours available all at once: 109 beautiful, high-quality shades, ready to combine without having to buy them ball by ball. It is an easy yarn to work with for both crochet and knitting, producing very well-defined stitches.

• ▷ Very wide colour range, with beautiful shades all in one pack.
• ▷ Easy to work with using both crochet hooks and knitting needles.
• ▷ High-quality finish, with the subtle sheen typical of the mercerisation process.
• ▷ Ideal for amigurumi, thanks to its firm twist and excellent stitch definition.

How should you care for garments and figures made with this yarn?

Items made with this yarn can be machine washed at up to 40 °C, preferably on a delicate cycle to help preserve the colour across different dye lots. They are not suitable for tumble drying; drying flat is recommended, and they can be ironed at a medium temperature if necessary.
