Downtown is a durable yarn of 75% extra fine merino wool and 25% nylon in energetic melange colours. The yarn is warm and has the breathable quality of wool, but thanks to the nylon it is durable and easy to maintain. This combination makes Downtown particularly versatile. The yarn feels soft and falls beautifully and smoothly, making it ideal for knitting or crocheting clothing and fashion accessories. And because Downtown is also strong and durable, it is also very suitable for cuddly toys, home accessories or socks with interesting stripe patterns.

In terms of colour, yarn thickness and composition, Scheepjes Downtown fits in seamlessly with Metropolis, a yarn in beautiful uni colours. This offers many more options, such as sweaters or cardigans with mottled sleeve and neck cuffs or striped socks with a solid heel and toe.

Downtown is available in 18 melange colours. A sphere of Scheepjes Downtown weighs 50 grams and has a running length of 200 meters. The recommended needle size is 2.50-3.00mm.
