Scheepjes Whirl Gradient Yarn, Earl Grey Custard, 1000m, 4-Ply, 215g

I am generally not a fan of fingering weight yarn, mostly because I find it difficult to crochet with, but this is so beautiful it has converted me. I’m about to order a third ball because they are so luscious. The picture is a simple granny shawl using a 4mm hook. I’m a substantial human at 6ft and this shawl is big enough to cover my frame so there’s enough yarn in one cake for a shawl. My height means I need shawls to be longer so I normally need more yarn and I was concerned there wouldn’t be enough. The colour transitions are the most beautiful I’ve seen in a yarn, subtle and truly invisible. The yarn is beautifully soft too which is important to me because I’m a sensitive soul when it comes to fabric. Using the 4mm makes the shawl more fluid, for a scarf or other garment you’d most likely need a 3mm so if a small hook doesn’t work for you, this might not be for you. If you pull from the centre it can knot towards the very centre, when I pull from the outside no knots, but I like centre first so I tend towards that and just deal with the knots. Overall I love this yarn, and despite the high price tag it’s a substantial amount of yarn. Oh and the invisible joins they reference are very clever, you get a sort of fluffy bit rather than a knot which when crocheted into the garment is really almost imperceptible. Just in love with this yarn.

Lovely yarn, easy to use, colours are blended to each other well. I made a dress for my 4 year old grandaughter. 1 ball was sufficient but I did use it all.

Lovely colour and nice yarn

The colour blend on this yarn is beautiful when worked up. It’s really nice to crochet with and feels super soft too. The only irritating thing for me, is that whenever the colour slightly changes gradient there is a very weak factory join. It’s not knotted, but almost (badly) fused together? However I have easily been able to pull every one apart. I’ve split and rejoined them myself so it’s not the end of the world but it is irritating that there’s so many to do. I’m only just at the end of the second colour and have done at least 4 already if not more.

This is my fifth whirl and absolutely love it. Colour changes subtle and whole shawl done with one ball. Easy to crochet with and love the way the wool is fused when colour changing. You really can’t see the join. As I’m doing one shawl, I can’t wait to finish it so I can start a new colour way. I’ve also managed to get a couple of whirls for £5 when most are around £16/£17…🥳🥳🥳

I have not used this scheepjes whirl yet,but I love the product, it makes beautiful shawls, soft,I like the size of the yarn, never find knots,an no splitting,or breaking of the yarn, I forsee no problem. Delivery was on time, an item as described by seller!

Just arrived, they are not the same colour, both state colour 753 but one is pink and dark grey whirl and the other is more a deep purple and light grey whirl both are pretty but if doing a large piece will not match on opening the plastic wrap can see they are not the same and been labelled wrong on outside . Single knit yarn, looking forward to using.

Good quality yarn. Knits up well. Good price

色がきれいで気に入っています。素材はそこまで柔らかくないですが、洗濯機で洗えるので使いやすいです。

Sehr schönes, weiches Garn mit sanftem Farbverlauf. Etwas dünner, als zb ein 4-fädiger Bobbel, aber noch gut mit einer 4er Häkelnadel zu verarbeiten. Für das gezeigte Tuch hatte ich zwei Bobbel verwendet.

I made myself a stunning crochet shawl. The colors were beautiful! Very nice yarn to work with and only came across 1 little joining knot in the skein. I needed to frog only a small bit out and it was easy to do, the yarn does not stick to itself or have fibers knot together. Well worth the price. I have not washed the shawl yet but I’m not at all concerned. This is a very reputable yarn brand.

No es tan suave como otros tipos que he provado, hice un chal triangular y el color es muy bonito, tiene tres cabos

I bought this yarn because it is all of my mom's favorite colors. I crocheted a shawl for her and she loves it! I was a little unprepared for how fine the yarn is--it was like working with thick thread, and I felt like the project took me FOREVER to complete. But it blocked up beautifully and looks terrific (if I do say so myself)! I almost blurted out, "Mom, I hope you like this, but if you don't, please just give it back to me because it took me forever to make and frankly I'm pretty impressed with myself!" LOL
