Hey, gorgeous creafter! Well, if you can’t tell, I am obsessed with Scheepjes Metropolis yarn lately, and I have another project in the works using the Metropolis Colour Pack. I already can’t wait to show you all what I’ve designed for it. Hint: it’s a simple yet engaging, beautiful project. but first, let me spoil you with pics of the Metropolis Colour Pack by Scheepjes.
Information (All the deets!)
When you receive this awesome pack, it has a double window with a “side A” and a “side B” as you can see in the photos above. It looks kind of like a briefcase. But a lot more fun… Squeeeee at all that color!
Here is how the pack looks when you open the sides and lay it out flat.

Color Range
How incredible is this collection of colors? It is beyond lush and will satisfy any rainbow hound or neutrals fiend. Plus, as a side note, this yarn is so soft for a special baby blanket, and there are plenty of shades that will suit.

Project Inspiration
Before I reveal a sneak peek of my latest WIP, let me show you some projects you can complete with the Metropolis Colour Pack.
Gloria Blanket
Do you remember my Gloria Blanket CAL? I made up a version in the Metropolis minis and it came out so delish…
Here are the motifs with the minis!
And nearly the full color range with motifs in progress – how neat is that?
Boy and Bunting Granny Square Blanket
Matt of Boy and Bunting created this stunner of a blanket using all of the Metropolis Minis in the colour pack. I always love the cozy feel of a granny square blanket, don’t you?
Rainbow Dots Blanket
The Rainbow Dots Blanket by Jellina Verhoeff is featured as a YARN The After Party pattern, and if you don’t know what those are, they are a collectible mix of beautiful patterns which are released periodically by Scheepjes. Click here to see them all on Ravelry!
A Very Rainbow Blanket
By Lilla Bjorn Crochet, A Very Rainbow Blanket is an exceptionally opulent use of the Metropolis Colour Pack. I love how this piece radiates joy!
A Project Only in My Dreams
I do have a blanket that is not made using the Metropolis Colour Pack, that I am dying to try it with. In case you missed it, the 10th issue of the YARN Bookazine was released not too long ago, and since it was The Colour Issue, you know I had to make a pattern contribution.
I made the Technicolour Dream Blanket with various shades of Softfun, but I am longing to use the 80 colors of Metropolis in the mini pack to recreate this beauty. Watch this space, because then I’m this giddy over something, it usually ends up happening…

Finally, a Sneak Peek at My New Project!
These half-hexies are stealing my heart at the moment, and even though I have a couple other projects I need to be working on, I cannot stop cranking these motifs out.
The perfect combination of easy and engaging, these motifs are so addictive, but what will they become?
A half-hexagon braid! This idea is very fabric quilt influenced, and you’ll be pleased to know that every shape in this blanket uses 1 x 10g ball of the Metropolis Cutie Pies! Here is the first WIP shot I took of my progress.
And here is the second progress shot. Even after I took these photos, I kept digging in, and I have made about 15 more motifs. You will love how this join as-you-go blanket comes together, and the medium grey border is really going to set it all off.
Thank you so much for reading all about the Metropolis Cutie Pie Pack, and checking out the sneak peek of my latest project. I hope you have a wonderful day, and get some hooky in!
