Schoppel Zauberperlen® Hanf – Your Personal Hemp Wool Paintbox
Zauberperlen® Hanf (hemp) is creativity with a conscience. Each strand of mini balls combines premium Patagonian wool with sustainable hemp, giving you your own eco-friendly paintbox of colour. By arranging and connecting the minis in your chosen sequence, you can design gradients, stripes, or colour journeys that are as unique as you are — while keeping sustainability at the heart of every stitch.
