Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack 80x10 g: all the colours in mini balls
The Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack 80x10 g brings together all 80 colours in the Metropolis range in 10-gram, 40-metre mini balls. Each colour is neatly arranged in a sturdy box with a front and back window, so you can use this Scheepjes Metropolis colour pack both as a working tool for choosing palettes and for making real projects with a wide variety of shades.
Thanks to its fingering weight and the blend of 75% extra fine merino wool and 25% nylon, this Metropolis 80x10 g mini ball pack is ideal for socks, lightweight garments, Fair Isle-style colourwork, jacquard, fine stripes or granny squares. You can combine lots of colours without building up leftovers from larger balls, which makes the pack especially practical for creative knitters and designers.
If you would like to try the range before investing in 50 g balls, the Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack works like a real yarn shade card, perfect for colour studies, workshops and swatch design. When you buy the Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack you get more than 3,000 metres of yarn in a manageable format, with a gift-style presentation that also makes it a very attractive option for surprising knitting and crochet lovers.
Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack for socks and multicolour projects
The Scheepjes Metropolis yarn included in this colour pack was originally designed as a sock yarn: the extra fine merino wool provides softness and thermal regulation, while the nylon adds durability and elasticity. This makes the Scheepjes Metropolis Colour Pack a very reliable choice for patterned socks, contrast toes and heels or striped designs with lots of colours; in practice, it works as a fingering weight merino sock yarn pack with a wide and very well-balanced palette.
Beyond socks, the Metropolis Colour Pack performs beautifully in lightweight shawls, hats, gloves, fine layering garments, blankets made up of small motifs and crochet projects with constant colour changes. The fingering weight makes it easy to achieve good stitch detail and excellent texture definition, both in knitting and crochet, so each mini ball can be used to the full in small pieces or as a pop of colour.
