Scheepjes Catona 50g 517 Ruby
Scheepjes Catona 50g 517 Ruby is a popular, smooth cotton yarn that beautifully highlights fine stitches and color details. Its subtle sheen comes from the mercerized finish.
What makes this yarn special?
Catona is tightly twisted, has a supple feel, and is ideal for detailed crochet and knitting patterns. The 50-gram ball is convenient for larger swaths of color and projects that use more of a single shade. For small accents, the same colors are available in 25-gram or 10-gram balls.
Ideas for Your Crochet and Knitting Projects
Make an Amigurumi, a colorful granny-square blanket, clothes for small dolls, a bag, or a lovely Home Accessory. Catona’s different ball sizes all have the same yarn weight and can be used together in a single pattern.
With Ruby, you choose this color option. The red hue adds a bold accent alongside soft, neutral colors.
