Scheepjes Catona – 100% cotton

Scheepjes Catona is a popular 100% mercerized cotton yarn with a subtle sheen and a smooth, soft finish. Catona is an excellent basic yarn and a reliable choice for making amigurumi, (children’s) clothing, as well as fashion and home accessories. Its wide range of colors offers endless possibilities and inspiration.

Crocheters highly appreciate the yarn’s smooth texture and beautiful sheen. It is praised for its durability, both in use and after washing. Many highlight the fact that Catona does not become fuzzy during crocheting or later with use.

Scheepjes Catona offers a stunning color palette of 113 shades. Currently, we carry a selection of natural tones for doll-making, but we plan to expand our color range significantly over time.

Lilleliis recommends:

• For amigurumi, use with a 2 or 2.5 mm crochet hook.
• A very good basic yarn for different crochet project like toys, baby clothes and summer hats.
• You can mix and match this yarn with other similar ones from different brands (Schachanmayr Catania, Gründl Cotton Quick, Katia Capri, G-B Wolle Carina).
