This delicious long gradient yarn from Scheepjes is made from a blend of 60% Cotton / 40% Acrylic to produce projects that are 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 extra-large yarn cakes hold an enormous 1000 meters of softly color changing yarn,more than enough for a generous shawl or wrap. Each color change is optimally tied by hand leaving a subtle “fluff” or “fuzz buzz” join that can be discreetly hidden within your stitches. Whirls are available in a tantalizing selection of colorways and collections,each with their own special “flavor”.
