Scheepjes Skies Light

When transience becomes beauty.

In Tynaarlo, where the De Bondt family guards the heritage of small boats, they looked up to the sky one day and understood: Not all beauty must last forever. Sometimes the magic lies in change, in gentle fading, in life leaving its own marks. Skies Light is this realization – a yarn that does not fight against time, but dances with it.

100% premium cotton, dyed with indigo. Not just any blue, but the blue of history. 4000 years before Christ, Peruvian hands dipped fibers into this mysterious color. Egyptians, Greeks, Mesopotamians – all peoples who knew the sea also loved this blue. The blue of jeans, the blue of workwear, the blue that tells: "I become more beautiful the more I am lived."

340 meters of sky in 100 grams. Fingering weight, but with the lightness of real clouds. Circumcumulus – that's the name of this color, after the small, white clouds that drift like sheep across the sky. Every tone in the Skies collection carries the name of a cloud formation, a mood of the sky, a moment between storm and sunshine.

But here is the special thing: Skies Light will age. Like denim, like old work shirts, like all beautiful things that are truly lived. The first washes will release color – not as a mistake, but as a promise. "I will change," says this yarn. "With every day you wear me, I will become more yours."

The opposite of Stone Washed. Where Stone Washed promises consistency, Skies celebrates change. Where River Washed shows dynamism, Skies shows poetry. This is yarn for all who understand that some beauty can only arise when it is free to become what it wants to be.

A color catcher in the first wash – yes. Caution with contrasting colors – yes. But also: projects that become more personal with each year. Knitted works that develop their own patina. Clothing that tells where it has been, what it has experienced.

Skies Light is the yarn for your vibrant dreams. For projects that don't want to stay perfect, but want to be beautiful. For all who know that the best things write their own stories.
