Scheepjes - Scheepjes Whirl 786 Dark Grape Squish Yarn - 1x1000m

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.

Beautiful to crochet with came out lovely and the gradients were subtle.

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.

Overall, I really like this yarn. It’s a fine cotton yarn that is lovely for making a shawl or scarf, either for yourself or as a handmade gift. The gradual colour changes make the knitting itself more interesting, and there are so many beautiful colour combinations to choose from. The finished piece looks unusual and special — perfect for anyone who appreciates handmade items. There is one drawback that has been mentioned in other reviews, and I can confirm it: the joins in the yarn. In my experience, some of them don’t feel secure enough to simply knit into the project, and they can also remain visible. My solution is to cut out each join as I reach it, tie the yarn securely myself and then weave the ends in as I continue knitting. This way I know the join is secure and I don’t end up with lots of ends to deal with when the project is finished. Despite this, I really enjoy working with this yarn and would buy it again. I’m currently making a scarf as a gift and can’t wait to give it to my friend.

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…🥳🥳🥳

Lovely colour and nice yarn

Lovely yarn. Great to crochet with

There was some fraying and clumping throughout the yarn in places, although the colours are lovely and work up well. I bought 2 balls and have only used one so far. Hoping the 2nd ball doesn't do the same.

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。

Comme toujours, très satisfaite de mon achat de fil Scheepjes! Qualité, couleur douceur, tout y est! On ne se trompe jamais avec cette marque!

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

編みやすくて、めっちゃ可愛いです✨ セーターを編んでますが、2玉くらいで出来上がるかと思います！

三角ストールを編み上げました。みなさんからグラデーションの入りかたがいいねと言われました。
