Veluwsch Verfgoed DK mini - color of the month May 2026 - Veluwsche friends - Mike's creative world

A color based on creative friendships...

This month, the very first Veluwsche Vrienden color is the color of the month. Veluwsch Verfgoed strives to build bridges between creatives—and to strengthen one another in the process. The idea for Veluwsche Vrienden originated from this thought. The very first Veluwsche Vrienden is represented by Mike's Creative World—and naturally, both Mike and Dennis are by now very well-known and popular in our community.

We know Mike primarily from his weekly vlogs in which he showcases all his creative experiences. He is a creative jack-of-all-trades with many interests, which he loves to share with you on camera. During these moments, his partner Dennis often drops by for a cheerful note and some good company. Dennis has his own hobby—he is crazy about casting/making candles. He is therefore known by the name Denniscandles.

In addition to Mike's vlog adventures, he is also an ambassador for brands like Scheepjes, creates tutorials and reviews, and you can always count on an honest, sincere, and clear opinion regarding the things he shows or discusses. In short, reason enough to dedicate the first Veluwsche Vrienden to these two stars. I asked Mike and Dennis to each choose two colors, and the result was yellow, orange, red, and green. And here is the result of these choices – a cheerful string that pops off the screen in terms of color!

Some general information about a skein of Veluwsch Verfgoed DK mini:

- One skein of 20 grams contains 45 meters of yarn

- The yarn is made of 75% superwash merino and 25% nylon

- Ideal for making socks, for example, but this superwash yarn is actually suitable for all kinds of knitting and crocheting.
- Gauge is 22 stitches x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm

- Suitable for knitting needles/crochet hooks 3.5mm - 5.0mm

- This yarn is hand-dyed. This makes each skein unique and slightly different in color. The colors and skeins shown are therefore indicative and may vary slightly in reality due to screen distortions. - After fixation, the yarn is hand-washed with a high-quality wool detergent. You can expect the yarn to hardly bleed when it comes into contact with water. However, with dark or bright colors, some colored water may still appear. Don't worry about this.

- The washing instructions for this yarn type are a maximum of 30°C on a wool wash cycle in the machine. Never tumble dry or wash products made with this yarn in hotter water to prevent felting. Never use fabric softener, but always choose a wool detergent.

- The yarn is super soft and provides perfect stitch definition with a beautiful sheen.

- Skeins dyed with multiple colors create a mottled effect when used, while skeins dyed in semi-solid colors create a relatively even gradient. It's always possible that even in a semi-solid color, a hint of white can appear. This is sometimes unavoidable during manual dyeing. However, in practice, it's usually not a problem. Each skein is hand-wound and labeled. Therefore, not every skein may look "perfect." However, this is a conscious choice and simply indicates that your skein has been crafted with love and care.
