Scheepjes Bookazine 17 - Patisserie

There’s something ineffably French about the best pâtisserie. The comfort of a fresh, warm croissant, the elegance of irresistible macarons, indulgent cream-filled gâteaux, and delicate petit fours enjoyed at a favourite café... the skills learned by maîtres pâtissiers are not so much about baking as they are about artistry. There are similarities with the designs featured in our 17th issue of YARN Bookazine: both culinary works of art and yarncraft are symbols of indulgence and craftsmanship. Each layer – or stitch – represents a distinct element that together creates a harmonious experience.

Divided into four chapters inspired by the formal categories of pâtisserie: Les Gâteaux, Les Viennoiseries, Les Petits Fours and Les Desserts, this issue features 15 contemporary pattern sections*. Between the tantalising designs of our look book, you will find a few good reads to cleanse your palate including an interview with Scheepjes Designer Collective member Kwannie Cheng. We hope that YARN Bookazine No. 17 encourages you to treat yourself with something handmade.
