Introducing Scheepjes Metropolis; the perfect companion for the urban crafter. With contemporary life bringing with it its many distractions, we all need to find time to slow down, enjoy and maybe do a little crafting. Whether you craft in a city apartment, an urban jungle or a street-side café, feel inspired as Metropolis echoes the vibrant colours of the modern cityscape alongside a lightly heathered effect indicative of urban decay.  

Although Metropolis is the perfect sock-yarn, thanks to an Extra Fine Merino and Nylon blend giving it exceptional softness and strength, its potential is limitless! Being able to handle colour-work and cables, Scheepjes Metropolis has been designed to suit your every need, with its extensive range of colours inspiring endless possibilities. 

Scheepjes stone washed is a very popular yarn with a soft heathered effect. It is 78% cotton for breathability along with 22% acrylic for strength.

Equivalent to a 5ply or sport weight yarn. 

Suggested needle size:  3.00mm - 3.5mm.

Approximately 130 in length.

Gauge:  24 stitches, 32 rows to 10cm knitted on 3.00mm needles.

We all love Scheepjes Merino Soft and it's divine softness and beautiful palette of colours. It is a dream come true that Scheepjes have developed 'Whirl - Fine Art'. This new Scheepjes gem is a combination of superfine merino gradient yarn that is unique and beautiful in its own right. With the unmatched silky softness of its sister yarn, Merino Soft.
