Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL: Tips and Tricks Page (UK Terms)

Hello, lovely Colour Lab CALer! Welcome to the Tips and Tricks page. This page is full of all the information you should know before you begin, and it’s a great place to come if you’re ever stuck during the crochet-along.

The official Scheepjes Tips and Tricks PDF is also very handy, and can be found on the Scheepjes website and as a file in the Scheepjes Facebook groups, where the Colour Lab CAL is hosted. Please read through this entire post, as you may have questions that are answered within. Note: If you work out any of these photo tutorials, it is best to use stash remnants, so as not to break into any of your kit yarn just yet.

This page has photo tutorials in UK Terms. If you would prefer to see them in US Terms, click here!

Scheepjes Colour Lab CAL Announcement

Hello, lovely crafter! Today I finally get to share something that I have been keeping under wraps for the past few years, if you can believe it. Well, now it’s time to let the cat out of the bag: I’m the designer for the upcoming Scheepjes CAL!

If you’re a member in the Scheepjes Facebook group, or just a Scheepjes Yarns groupie in general, you probably know that they host a huge CAL or KAL every year in the groups. The last three CALs were Ubuntu by Dedri Uys, Rozeta by Tatsiana Kupryianchyk, and d’Histoire Naturelle by Christina Hadderingh. To join the ranks of these talented designers is an honor.

Let me share all of the details with you!
