Wise up!

Scheepjes’ Woolwise yarn is one for those crocheters who are seeking sustainable options. A 100g/200m ball costs £9.95, and you can find a stockist at www.scheepjes. com/en. Its pure natural fibres are as soft as you would expect from a Merino yarn, and you can help save the planet as you crochet, as it’s made from 100% recycled Merino wool that would otherwise end up in landfill. It has a huge range of 60 gorgeous, inspiring shades, and it’s spun in a true DK weight.
