Inspired by Janie Crow’s Trips to India: Scheepjes Royal Garden Blankets Are Now in Stock!

By Vanessa 4 years ago

It’s crochet heaven! We’re delighted to introduce you to two BRAND NEW Scheepjes kits for the Royal Garden Blanket designed and created by the well-known Jane Crowfoot, also known by her designer name Janie Crow. There are two kits to choose from which were created in Scheepjes Colour Crafter or Stone Washed & River Washed yarn, so that every crafter can crochet their very own Royal Garden Blanket measuring approx 162x162cm.

Designed by Janie Crow in collaboration with Scheepjes, the Royal Garden Crochet Blanket has been inspired by Janie’s trips to the Green Hotel in Mysore, India. Inspired by the intricate and vibrant terracotta tiles decorating the floor combined with the patchwork layout of the main garden of the Green hotel, the Royal Garden Blanket is an ode to this marvellous place in Mysore. To transform her fond memories into a tangible project, Janie incorporated the tiles’ motif and the blooming flowerbeds of the garden into this geometric design, resulting in a striking blanket that will be a centrepiece in any living space.

Royal Garden Crochet Blanket Stone Washed and River Washed Colour Pack

Scheepjes Stone Washed and Scheepjes River Washed go hand in hand as they share the same qualities. The characteristic look of Stone Washed is achieved by filling the ecru-coloured, cotton ‘core’ of the yarn with a fluffy acrylic fibre in contrasting colours. River Washed, like Stone Washed, also has a coloured ‘core’ (non-ecru) that provides the same contrasting look. Both yarns are made from a 78% Cotton and 22% Acrylic blend, and provide a soft, woolly feel. These Sport Weight yarns are breathable and have a rustic look, making it perfect for home decor projects like the Royal Garden Blanket!

Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity provides specialist nurses and support for seriously ill children. There are currently over 120 Roald Dahl Nurses caring for more than 33,000 seriously ill children, but there are still too many children with serious illnesses who do not receive this vital specialist care. Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity understand how immensely difficult being diagnosed with a serious illness is for a child and their whole family. It is uncertain, overwhelming, scary, and deeply unfair. Navigating this challenging and complex world can be daunting, particularly when an initial diagnosis is made. And that is where their marvellous Roald Dahl Nurses come in – ensuring that seriously ill children no longer have to brave their illnesses alone.
