SCHEEPJES - Stone Washed / River Washed Colour Pack

This exclusive pack contains a total of 58 mini balls of 10 g each (approx. 26 metres per ball), distributed as follows:

• ▷ 36 colours from Scheepjes Stone Washed
• ▷ 22 colours from Scheepjes River Washed

Both yarns share the same base (78% cotton + 22% acrylic) and sport/light DK weight, making them fully compatible for multicolour projects. The set comes in a sturdy, elegant cardboard box, perfect for personal use or as a gift.

Though they share the same composition and structure, their appearance and visual finish are different:

• ▷ Stone Washed: light or white base with a coloured halo, giving a softly heathered, “washed denim” effect.
• ▷ River Washed: coloured base with a contrasting halo, producing a more saturated, deep and vibrant look.

Combining them allows you to play with contrast and harmony in your project — same texture, but rich and dynamic visual results.

This pack is perfect for:

• ▷ Colourwork projects like granny blankets, mandalas or motif blocks.
• ▷ Amigurumi and soft toys with multicolour details.
• ▷ Cowls, scarves and accessories in stripes or colour blocks.
• ▷ Embroidered embellishments on knit or crochet fabrics.
• ▷ Swatching and palette creation for textile designers.
• ▷ Creative gifts for knitting and crochet lovers.

Its mini size makes it ideal for colourful projects without needing to buy full balls of each shade.

✅ Yes, absolutely. Stone Washed and River Washed can be blended with each other and with other compatible Scheepjes yarns such as:

• ▷ Stone Washed XL and River Washed XL – same look, thicker weight.
• ▷ Scheepjes Catona – to add contrast in texture and solid colour.
• ▷ Whirl or Whirlette – great for gradients or neutral sections.

This flexibility makes the pack a valuable resource for complex projects that go beyond a single yarn range.

Each mini ball has approx. 26 metres.

• ▷ 58 balls x 26 m = 1,508 metres of yarn in total

This is more than enough for a small blanket, several amigurumi, cushions, or multiple crochet or knit accessories.

Scheepjes recommends using:

• ▷ 3.0 mm to 3.5 mm knitting needles or crochet hook

For finer details like amigurumi, a smaller hook (2.5 mm) may be ideal. For garments or blankets, 3.5 mm is a great choice to showcase the yarn's texture.

✅ Yes. Both yarns are very soft, lightweight and durable, with a natural cotton base, making them suitable for:

• 👶 Baby clothes and blankets
• 🧸 Safe toys and softies
• 🧣 Everyday garments for sensitive skin

Although not certified under EN71-3, like some other Scheepjes ranges, many crafters use them safely for children's items, provided standard sewing safety is observed.

Both yarns share the same care instructions:

• ✅ Machine wash on delicate cycle up to 40 °C
• ❌ Do not bleach
• ✅ Can be ironed on a low setting
• ✅ Dry flat
• ❌ Not suitable for tumble drying

The acrylic content helps projects retain their shape and colour for longer with proper care.

✅ Yes. While it’s highly appreciated by experienced designers, it’s also very suitable for beginners because it:

• ▷ Allows you to experiment with many colours without large investments
• ▷ Gives access to a comprehensive palette to try colourwork techniques
• ▷ Is perfect for small, quick practice projects
• ▷ Is easy to work with and offers good stitch definition

• ▷ Stone Washed Colour Packs include just 10 colours per set, with 4 different variants available.

• ▷ The Stone Washed / River Washed Colour Pack includes all colours from both ranges in one set, making it the most complete and versatile option for accessing the full sport-weight heathered collection from Scheepjes.

This is an excellent choice for textile designers, large-scale projects or as a colour reference kit for multicolour patterns.

✅ Absolutely. It’s one of the most popular gift options for crafters because:

• ▷ It has an attractive and professional presentation
