Scheepjes Colour Crafter Velvet: premium acrylic yarn with mottled effect, 100 g

What is Scheepjes Colour Crafter Velvet and what makes it special?

Scheepjes Colour Crafter Velvet is the special edition of this yarn, with the same premium anti-pilling acrylic as always, but with a subtle mottled effect that imitates the aged appearance of vintage velvet. Each colour is inspired by an iconic actor or actress from the Golden Age of Hollywood, giving it a vintage and elegant look.

As it features a tone-on-tone mottled effect —not a blend of different colours— it resembles the natural wear of vintage fabric, without losing the softness or easy-care qualities of Scheepjes premium acrylic.

Can it be combined with the standard version of this yarn?

Yes. Scheepjes Colour Crafter Velvet has the same composition, yarn weight, ball weight and length as the solid colours in the same range, so they can be combined without making any adjustments to needle or hook size or tension. It is an easy way to add visual texture to a project by using a mottled colour as the main shade or as a contrasting detail.

What projects is Colour Crafter Velvet ideal for?

Thanks to its subtle mottled effect and DK weight, Colour Crafter Velvet is a very versatile yarn for blankets and cushions with a vintage look, garments such as jumpers, shawls or scarves, and home décor accessories such as covers, bedspreads or wall hangings with texture and visual depth.

If you are looking for a mottled yarn with a retro feel for your next project, this edition is a popular choice among crafters making vintage-inspired blankets and cushions.
