What is Cahlista?

Scheepjes Cahlista is a light from Scheepjes, made in Netherlands. Composition: 100% natural cotton. One skein holds 85 m of yarn and weighs 50 g.

How the yarn behaves

Scheepjes Cahlista is an aran/worsted weight yarn made from un-mercerised cotton with an optimised twist that reduces splitting while keeping a soft, supple drape. The yarn is double-gassed, passed twice over a flame to singe stray fibres, which gives a notably smooth surface that glides on the hook or needle. It offers excellent stitch definition for cables, texture and surface patterns and is widely used in amigurumi, homewares, summer tops, baby items and blankets; it works equally well in knit and crochet. The shade palette matches across Scheepjes Catona, Sweet Treat and Sugar Rush, so projects mixing yarn weights can use the same colours. Care: machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat.
