Scheepjes Scrumptious - A deliciously sustainable go-to yarn, made with recycled plastic bottles

Scheepjes Scrumptious is a Recycled Acrylic yarn made of 50% Recycled Polyester (recycled plastic bottles) and 50% Acrylic. The recommended hook and needle size is 4.00mm (gauge: 20 stitches x 24 rows to 10cm). Available in 80 colours, 100g balls (300m). 

Treat yourself to Scheepjes’ newest, more sustainable yarn collections, Scrumptious and Truly Scrumptious! Inspired by desserts from around the world, each shade is named after a mouth-watering flavour. Why not indulge in Key Lime Pie and Honeycomb Crunch, or feast your eyes on Blueberry Parfait! Using this deliciously soft yarn may feel like a guilty pleasure, but thanks to its recycled plastic bottle content, you’ll be able to knit, crochet and craft away with a clearer conscience.

Scheepjes Scrumptious and Truly Scrumptious are sister yarns created as part of Scheepjes’ transition towards including more sustainable fibres within our collections. Not only do these yarns offer a more sustainable option for eco-conscious crafters, but they also share the same fibre content and colours and are offered in two different weights: Scrumptious is DK Weight and Truly Scrumptious is Aran Weight.

Being the same weight as Scheepjes favourites, Colour Crafter and Chunky Monkey, our new yarns can easily be combined or used as a substitute on the many existing patterns Scheepjes already has to offer in both Colour Crafter and Chunky Monkey.

The 80 shades, in a mix of softly heathered and solid colours, offer lots of options to be creative. Easy-care and hypoallergenic, these yarns will soon become your new go-tos for a wide variety of projects, whether it’s a stuffed toy for a little one, a cosy throw for the couch, or a handmade garment. Whether you’re knitting, crocheting or punch needling, Scheepjes offers plenty of options to get started with these truly affordable, eco-conscious collections.
