Introducing the Official d’Histoire Naturelle Scheepjes CAL 2020 & Read-A-Long!
It’s with a whole lot of excitement and a great deal of honour that we officially launch our very special CAL and Read-A-Long for 2020! Watch the video below!
The d'Histoire Naturelle Blanket, designed by Scheepjes Blogger Christina of A Spoonful of Yarn blog, is designed to whisk you away to Paris, France, as you crochet your way around the astounding Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle (Museum of Natural History), all the while reading Anthony Doerr’s best-selling novel All the Light We Cannot See: the inspiration behind this incredible design.
Created in four beautiful colourways inspired by the colours and textures to be found across four departments of the Museum in Paris, in our Stone Washed and River Washed or Colour Crafter yarns, we hope this CAL can enrich your time spent at home by offering a mindful outlet and opportunity to explore new places through the power of crochet and a little creativity.

FREE PATTERN
Released in 6 parts on Wednesdays at 12pm (CEST/CET) with video tutorials in Dutch and English supplied by Esther of It's all in a Nutshell blog (left and right-handed). Some parts will cover 2 weeks rather than 1 as per previous CALs, due to the length and intricacy of some crochet parts. Each week, we will share reading material for Book Club Sunday.
LANGUAGE
It is available in Dutch, German and in English (UK and US). Additional languages may be made available during the CAL, as a translation template will be provided for participants who wish to translate the pattern into their own language for use in the groups.
The Stone Washed & River Washed kit includes:
“Our mothers group visited the cafe this week and we all thought it was fantastic. The ladies there are lovely and were very nice to let us in with a herd of prams. The coffee and food was great and it was lovely looking around the shop at all the hand made crafts. We will definitely be back!”
“Great place to go for a chat and check out all the new colours for knitting and crotcheting, whether it be a rug or a jumper or a pretty tea cosy even babies clothes. Whatever takes your fancy. Lovely home-made soup and coffee. Could spend an easy couple of hours there.”
“What a fantastic craft cafe! Beautiful space, gorgeous people. We need more places that encourage such a beautiful space combined with delicious food and crafty creativity!”
