Scheepjes – YARN – Issue 18

YARN 18 – The Family Issue

For many of us, knitting and crochet were once a natural part of everyday life. Our grandparents grew up learning these skills as part of their education, passing them down with quiet pride and care. The tradition of making things by hand—stitch by stitch, to be worn, used, and cherished year after year—is one that brings deep satisfaction and is meant to be shared with those around us.

In YARN 18 – The Family Issue, the eighteenth edition of YARN Bookazine, you’ll discover twelve thoughtfully designed patterns photographed against the historic backdrop of the Zuiderzee Museum in the Netherlands. The setting beautifully complements designs inspired by both contemporary ideas and carefully selected pieces from the Scheepjes archives—patterns ready to be embraced by a new generation of makers.

Beyond the lookbook and patterns, this refreshed edition offers a wealth of inspiration and insight. Explore the wide range of fibres and blends within the Scheepjes yarn family, discover essential crafting tools, and learn more about how making by hand supports wellbeing. The issue also features an interview with Tania from KnitKat, a vibrant community hub where crafters of all ages come together, as well as introductions to some of the people behind parent company De Bondt, each contributing to a shared mission of inspiration and connection.

Rooted in tradition yet open to the future, YARN 18 – The Family Issue celebrates making as a shared language that brings generations together.

Discover YARN 18 – The Family Issue and share the joy of handmade traditions with the people who matter most.
