Colour Crafter Parade

If you've ever spent twenty minutes picking coordinating colors when you'd rather have been crocheting, Scheepjes Colour Crafter Parade has already done that work for you.

Each of its 20 colorways combines four to six coordinated shades, creating changing bands of color as you knit or crochet. Some combinations stay within one color family, while others move through contrasting shades and playful rainbows. The effect varies with your stitch pattern and the width of your project, so the same colorway can look quite different in a scarf, sweater, or blanket.

Made from 100% anti-pilling acrylic, Parade has a remarkably soft, almost velvety feel. It's machine washable and can be tumble dried on low heat, making it a practical choice for everyday blankets, sweaters, scarves, and accessories. Avoid high heat to help preserve the finished fabric.

Individual balls may begin at different points in the color sequence. If you want colors to line up across separate pieces or sections of a project, you may need to adjust where you start each ball.
