In a sumptuous selection of inspirational shades and with an impressive 1000 metres on every ball, Scheepjes Whirligig takes long repeat yarn cakes to a whole new level! Made from a luxurious blend of wool and alpaca, Whirligig is soft as a cloud and kind on the skin, gliding through the fingers and being just as much as of a treat to work with as it is to wear. In giant 450g balls, Whirligig makes the perfect gift for a crafty friend - or for yourself!

Scheepjes Whirligigette is made from the same fibre mix and is designed to work as a plain coloured companion yarn for Whirligig, being the same weight and coming in a range of corresponding colours that perfectly complement each of the original mixes. From solid edging to beautiful colour patterns, why not see what you can create by combining these two special yarns?

Please note: Every colour change in every Whirl is uniquely joined by hand resulting in a "fluff" (or "fuzz-buzz") that is discreetly hidden between your stitches as you knit or crochet.

To get a quick crafting start and avoid tangled centres, please start from the outside of your cake. Should you wish to start with the inside shade, please wind your yarn to reverse the colours.
