How the yarn behaves

Scheepjes Woolly Whirl is the warm-season sibling of the classic Whirl: an extra-large gradient cake blending cotton with wool, designed for cold-weather projects that still want a long, smooth colour journey. The wool content adds softness, elasticity and warmth, while the cotton keeps it breathable and stable. Like Whirl, it is well twined to make crochet and knitting fast and to prevent splitting, with discreet knots between colour sections. It is ideal for warm shawls, scarves, wraps and statement blankets, and pairs with Woolly Whirlette monotone cakes to extend gradient projects. Care: hand wash or machine wash very gentle (wool cycle) cool and dry flat to protect the wool content.
