Product Description
Scheepjes Metropolis 007 Philadelphia
Scheepjes Metropolis 007 Philadelphia is a soft Sock Yarn that combines extra-fine Merino Wool and nylon. This gives you the warmth of wool, with extra durability in areas where the fabric is subjected to heavy wear.
What makes this yarn special?
This finely twisted yarn is perfect for socks and small accessories, but also makes a lovely, lightweight shawl or soft sweater. The color combinations are named after cities around the world and form a palette in which solid colors and subtle shades blend beautifully.
Ideas for Your Crochet and Knitting Projects
Metropolis is especially useful when you're looking for a fine yarn that's both comfortable to wear and durable. For a pair of socks, for example, you can use a contrasting color for the cuffs, heels, or toes.
With Philadelphia, you're choosing this color option. The shade of blue pairs beautifully with Ecru, Grey, or other shades of blue.
