Scheepjes Whirl is a beautiful, supple yarn with a stunning colour gradient. It is a 'unicat' yarn, meaning the colours shift along the thread, creating fluid, natural colour changes. Scheepjes Whirl is fully twisted, which prevents the yarn from splitting during fast knitting or crocheting. Each colour change is carefully crafted by hand. However, it can happen that the yarn at the point of the colour transition is slightly fuzzy (the so-called 'fuzzbuzz'). To solve this, you can wet the tips of your fingers and smooth out the fuzzbuzz between your fingers, ensuring your project has a nice, smooth finish. Due to its supple result, Scheepjes Whirl is perfect for (lace) scarves, accessories, clothing, and stylish home decor projects. The extra-long running length of the yarn cakes means that one cake is enough for a large scarf or wrap.
