A Yarny Surprise: Scheepjes Metropolis Plus NEW Mini Colour Pack

Hello, lovely! Today I am popping in to show off a new yarn. Every time Scheepjes comes out with something new, I squee over the color range, and when you see how many colors are in their new Metroplolis line, you will definitely squeeeee!

Shown in this post are the 50g ball version and the 10g ball colour pack version, as well as an example blanket to make from each, featuring projects by super-talented HaakMaarRaak and Boy and Bunting. Lovely!

Scheepjes Metropolis is a wonderful sock yarn (but can be used for any project as you’ll see further down in the post) and they had a pair of socks made in every color. How lush is this promotional photo?
