This extra large yarn cake holds an enormous 1,000 metres of softly colour changing yarn - more than enough for a large shawl or wrap. Available in more than 50 scrumptious colour ways, each cake boasts a stunning gradient for truly breathtaking projects. Made from a blend of 60% cotton / 40% acrylic, Scheepjes Whirl projects are both lightweight and breathable. Unlike other gradient yarns, Whirl has a generous twist to enable speed while working the yarn and to help prevent splitting. The beautiful drape of this yarn makes it perfect for shawls, accessories, garments and stylish home décor projects. Whirl has a unique twisted plied section, which gives it a characteristic ‘flavour’ all of its own! Each colour change is carefully tied in an optimum way to ensure the knot can be discretely hidden within your stitches. Scheepjes Whirl is machine washable too! Scheepjes Whirl matches perfectly with Scheepjes Whirlette.
