Scheepjes Whirl is a glorious gradient yarn made from a blend of 60% cotton & 40% acrylic. Knitted up, this whimsical, vegan friendly yarn produces a surprisingly lightweight and breathable fabric with wonderful drape, perfect for knitting and crochet projects such as shawls, sweaters, cardigans and accessories.

Machine washable

Each 215g cake of Scheepjes Whirl holds an enormous 1000m of yarn which gently changes colour, giving you more than enough yarn for a large shawl or wrap with beautiful drape. Unlike other gradient yarns, Whirl has a generous twist which adds strength and prevents splitting whilst working up. Each coloured yarn is expertly tied to ensure a discreet colour change that hides away within the stitches. 

Scheepjes Whirl is also a perfect match to its smaller sister 4-ply yarn, Whirlette. These single colour balls are a perfect match to the inner and outer colours of the Whirl cakes giving you the ability to extend a gradient project, whether that’s adding a ribbing at the bottom of a knitted sweater, or adding a border to a baby blanket. 

For UK delivery we use Royal Mail’s 2nd Class Letter & Parcel service. Items are normally dispatched within 1-3 working days, provided the goods are in stock. Delivery times can vary, but are typically 2-3 days for UK mainland.

To give you the best results we always check the dye lot numbers match within each order.  If for any reason it is not possible to complete your order using only one dye lot we will contact you as soon as possible.
