Scheepjes Whirl Yarn - 1000m Jumpin Jelly, Cotton & Acrylic Mix

I love whirls. Whirls are a fine weight yarn that gradually change color throughout the cake. They are so soft. These were on sale when I ordered them and they were well worth the price. While the yarn is pretty fine, 1000 m goes a long way. I personally tend to cut and retie at the knots that happen at the color change, but you don't have to, the knots are strong enough. There is a large enough amount of yarn to make a top; two can make a cardigan. These are also big enough to make a baby blanket.

This was a screaming deal I couldn’t pass up. More yarn is not really necessary here but wow! This will make up into a fabulous shawl. I’m familiar with the brand, so no qualms about purchase. It is a fine lace weight and I can’t wait to get it on my needles!

The color change is gradual and smooth. The yarn is soft and feels nice while knitting. I'm about a quarter of the way through my project and it's soft and beautiful so far. Hopefully, I'll remember to post a picture when I'm done.

Great price for this Scheepjes Whirl. Love the fine cotton and acrylic weight and long color changes great for shawls and clothing.

I first bought a cake of the Lavenderlicious color and made a shawl for myself from that. It was actually my first crochet project and it came out wonderfully. I loved the fact that the yarn was 1000 meters and you did not have to splice it in yourself. The color changes are very gradual. There are 6 distinct colors in the skein, and the way that they change is 1 or 2 threads at a time, so the change is so subtle that it flows very nice from one color to the next. As you can see in the pictures, one picture shows where one color starts to change into the next, and you can see that the threads change. They have one end and another start, and they are kind of felted in but it is not really noticeable. The pictures with the yellow highlighting shows where the thread changes have been worked in and how it looks in the stitches. The other two pictures are of the finished project and show how gradual the color change is and how great the overall look of the yarn is.The yarn is 6 strand and it is about as thick as embroidery floss, although it is not as glossy or slick. It is very easy to work with and the yarn did not slip or pull. I have had the shawl finished for 10 months and I wear it regularly and it does not have any pills on it. It is in great shape. It has not pulled out of shape or shrunk.I loved working with this one so much that when I finished this project I made a shawl for my daughter-in-law and then one for my mother out of two other colors (both of which are currently not available any longer). I am also getting ready to order another one to make another shawl for myself, as I want one in the Tasty-Nom-Nom color to go with some of my other outfits.I would recommend this yarn to anyone. It will take more yarn than regular yarn, as the butterfly pattern shawl that I did has 16 rows and a border, and some people that used "normal" yarn had the same size shawl with only 7 rows due to the size difference in the yarn. It is also lighter weight than "normal" yarn due to this, so take this into account, however, the 1000 meter cake was sufficient to complete my shawl with very little left over. (My son pointed out that I am wearing a Kilometer of yarn that I crocheted). Projects of course take longer due to the smaller size yarn also, unless this is the size required. I used a size 3.5mm E crochet hook with this yarn.

There’s no denying that this yarn has stunningly beautiful colors! Unfortunately, it’s thin; like lace-weight thin. I like to knit or crochet with worsted weight yarn, because with yarn this thin, it takes forever to finish a project. There’s no recommend needle or crochet hook size given in the description, so l took a chance and received doily-weight yarn. It’s soft and beautiful, but l do wish it was thicker. Four stars for the color and softness.

Love thus brand . The color palettes are fabulous. I enjoy the big cakes for the ease of use , nice & soft but hold up to washing :) A fair price for a huge amt of high quality yarn

This yarn is soft and a pleasure to work with. The stitch definition is superb and the colors are vibrant.
