D’Histoire Naturelle Official Scheepjes 2020 CAL SW  

Please note: CAL kits must be purchased separately from other items!

Scheepjes proudly presents the d’Histoire Naturelle Official Scheepjes 2020 CAL & Read-A-Long designed by Scheepjes Blogger Christina Hadderingh from A Spoonful of Yarn blog, which will begin on September 23, 2020. The design for this spectacular crocheted blanket is inspired by the many galleries of the breathtakingly beautiful Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Natural History) in Paris, which is highlighted in the book All The Light We Cannot See by the award-winning author, Anthony Doerr (book not included in the kit). Participants are encouraged to read along with the book as they crochet to make the most of this extraordinary Crochet and Read-A-Long experience!

During the Crochet-A-Long, both adventurous beginners and experienced crocheters will learn various stitches and techniques while following an unique journey in creating the stunning d’Histoire Naturelle blanket. The blanket is available in 4 colourways and in 2 Scheepjes yarns: Scheepjes Colour Crafter (item no. CAL2020-CC) or Scheepjes Stone Washed & River Washed. The 4 colourways are Herbarium, Mineralogy, Conchology and Entomology. The finished blankets measure 140-145 x 140-145cm (Stone Washed) or 145-150 x 145-150 (Colour Crafter) after blocking.
