Scheepjes – YARN – Issue 15

YARN 15 – Metamorphosis

“During those long weeks of isolation, reflecting on the metamorphoses of the insects in our gardens, eventually we emerged as more conscious versions of ourselves—or so I like to believe.”
— Simy Somer

The fifteenth issue of YARN Bookazine explores themes of growth, change, and awakening. Metamorphosis unfolds across chapters inspired by insects whose life cycles transform with the seasons, using this natural process as a metaphor for personal and creative evolution.

Sixteen crochet and knitting patterns illustrate how fibers, techniques, and forms can evolve into a diverse range of garments and accessories, from airy tops to delicate shawls. Alongside wearable designs, playful homeware pieces and toys introduce joyful bursts of color—echoing the need for brightness during times when many of us felt cocooned indoors.

Embroidery features throughout the collection, drawing attention to the fine details found in nature and reinforcing the theme of transformation. The issue is further enriched by artist interviews and thoughtful feature articles, including insight into how Scheepjes supports biodiversity.

Reflective, hopeful, and quietly uplifting, YARN 15 – Metamorphosis captures a moment of change and renewal through making.

Discover YARN 15 – Metamorphosis and let its patterns inspire growth, reflection, and creative transformation.
