Scheepjes Colour Packs: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide

Hello, lovely crafter! Today, I want to give you information on how to find the Scheepjes Colour Packs, and what you can make with them. I have lots of patterns that use the packs, and there are many others out there as well. Update: The day I published this post, Scheepjes launched a new colour pack! So I’ve added it in at the start of the post – enjoy!

My favorite thing about working with the packs is that you have the entire color range in one pack, and you can see which colors will work well together before you buy the full balls. There are also plenty of patterns that show you how to use the entire pack, sometimes plus a few full balls for a background color, so that you can create a very colorful piece.

Let’s get into it and see the gorgeousness!

Shopping through the given links will earn me a small commission that helps to support my work at no additional cost to you! If you would like to see Scheepjes retailers in your area, you can click here.

Because many patterns for the packs use full balls as well, I have included links to purchase them.

*NEW* Scrumptious Colour Pack

How incredible is this collection of colors? The shades all work so well together, and this range has many muted tones perfect for Autumn and Winter, but enough brights for Summer and Spring. If you haven’t tried this yarn, I suggest it as the hand is buttery and it’s very durable.
