A go-to yarn for knitters and crocheters alike, Scheepjes Catona is a cracking cotton 4-ply that is extremely popular with our crochet customers here at Baa! Not only is the price point particularly favourable at just £2.55 per 50g ball, but, in true Scheepjes style, the colour palette is incredible!

Natural fibres

Plastic free

Sustainably sourced

Machine washable

The Catona cotton is 100% mercerized; a treatment which increases the cotton’s affinity for dye and causes a swelling of the fibre itself to result in a yarn with high lustre and shine. Soft and strong with excellent stitch definition and a wonderful choice of colours to choose from, Scheepjes Catona 4-ply yarn is an excellent choice for small crochet projects, particularly amigurumi toys and accessories, but also produces a light and breathable fabric for knitted summer tops and lightweight cardigans.
