The 2025 Scheepjes CAL has been fabulous. A gorgeous design by Dedri Uys, named Universe In Bloom, that has resulted in a 150×150 cm square blanket.
The only thing I didn’t quite enjoy was the yarn. I usually go for the acrylic versions, but this year I chose the cotton pack. The yarn is Scheepjes Cotton Create, 50% “premium” cotton and 50% recycled cotton from used or discarded clothes. And honestly, the quality is a bit poor. The thread smells a bit like wet stuff, and it feels like, well, used. It also sheds a lot of micro fibers.
All in all, it was a lot of fun making this one and I’m very happy with the result. The blanket is really beautiful.
