Why choose Catona for a durable and quality finished result?
Scheepjes Catona is not just yarn; it is the guarantee of quality. The surface of the 100% mercerized cotton yarn receives a subtle sheen, making it extremely smooth to the touch and durable. This special treatment ensures that the colours remain vibrant and the yarn wears less. Important! This yarn holds the EN71-3 Babysafe certification, so you can confidently use it to create toys for children, knowing you are gifting them a safe and resilient piece. Our customers confirm: "It's a real pleasure to work with. The crochet hook just glides..." – this smoothness and quality make Catona a reliable foundation for all your hobby projects.
What can I create with the Catona yarn packs?
Catona yarn is the true 'jolly joker' of crocheting and knitting, especially for small-sized projects requiring many colours. Our customers most frequently choose it for amigurumi figures, as the fibre composition is perfect for the figures to be detailed, durable, and soft to the touch! Create delicate baby clothes, colourful accessories, fashionable jewellery, or even home decorations. Thanks to the Babysafe certification, you can confidently use it for toys and blankets intended for children, knowing that the quality is guaranteed.
