From our family to yours: Scheepjes Legacy! Discover the nostalgic crochet cotton of the future. Scheepjes Legacy exudes a feeling of history and brings to mind fond memories of handcrafting and times gone by. A time when grandmothers and great-grandmothers made doilies, bedspreads, table runners and even christening gowns in the timeless, neutral shades of white and undyed ecru. Each and every item was handmade with love and passed down from generation to generation within a family. Legacy yarns are made to keep these traditions alive as lovingly crocheted heirloom projects, and the memories they hold, are passed on to be treasured for many future generations to come.

Scheepjes Legacy is available in two ranges: one premium blend 100% Cotton thread yarn, featuring a natural ‘matte’ finish, and a premium blend 100% Mercerised Cotton thread yarn, featuring a subtle sheen. Both ranges are soft, breathable and characterised by a density and twist greater than regular cotton yarn, making them highly durable. Available in thread weights no. 6, no. 8, no. 10, and no. 12, providing plenty of choice to craft your legacy.

Scheepjes Legacy joins Scheepjes’ ever-expanding collection of waste water created yarns that are also vegan-friendly, making Legacy a perfect choice for eco-conscious crafters looking for a crochet thread yarn that can be transformed into items to be passed down from generation to generation. It is also EN71-3 certified, ensuring it’s safe for use in children’s and baby’s items, such as garments and toys.
