About Scheepjes Terrazzo

Terrazzo from Scheepjes is a DK of 70% recycled mulesing-free wool and 30% recycled viscose, with 191 yards (175 meters) in each 50 g ball.

Its colorways are softly speckled, inspired by terrazzo stone, and the blend has a subtle tweed effect. Scheepjes says it offers warmth, breathability and a silky-soft drape. The range is large, around 60 shades, with Italian names such as Girasole, Oliva and Pistacchio.

It's for knitters and crocheters who like a speckled look and recycled fibers, for garments, accessories and colorwork.

Best for

  • Sweaters and cardigans with drape
  • Colorwork using many shades
  • Hats, scarves and cowls
  • Crochet garments and accessories

Working with it

Scheepjes gives 27 stitches and 35 rows to 4 inches on US 6 (4 mm) needles, which is a firm gauge for a DK. Viscose adds drape and weight, so garments can lengthen a little with wear; wash your swatch, let it hang and then measure. The speckles show off simple stitches well; stockinette or garter let the texture of the yarn do the work.

Care

Scheepjes lists hand wash up to 30°C (86°F), washing gently and avoiding agitation to prevent felting. Dry flat.
