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

Published by

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! Related Links As these sites become live, I will hyperlink them.

Working On a Pastel Beauty

Published by

Hello, you! It has been a busy week here at CypressTextiles. My Creative Art Blanket Course is now available for pre-order, I launched my Dutch Rose Blanket CAL Reboot, and debuted my Time Traveller’s Blanket in the latest issue of YARN Bookazine. I also started working on a big blanket using all 191 or so of the demo hexies from my 2022 VVCAL, and I will be sharing that blanket in a blog post soon! A couple of weeks ago I told you about a blanket that did not yet have a name, that I was working up using Scheepjes Organicon Yarn. (affiliate link) Originally I thought this would be my 100th published blanket pattern, but then my Time Traveller’s Blanket pattern was published in YARN Bookazine, and that stole the crown of my 100th. Well the unnamed Organicon blanket now has a name – and a few progress pics too. I’m super excited to show you, so read on!
