Last week I told you that I fell for the attraction of Scheepjes Whirl; how is a yarn addict like me supposed to resist this anyway! 😀 I would like to show you what I am making with my Raspberry Rocky Roads yarn. I am making a long, luscious and luxurious skinny scarf.
Scheepjes Whirl Yarn
The yarn that I am using is Scheepjes Whirl, which is a cotton/acrylic mix yarn with a very slow color gradient available in 24 colorways named after ice cream flavors. The 1000 meter cakes are large enough for a variety of projects including accessories and home deco. Scheepjes Whirl is available from Wool Warehouse (UK/Int), Deramores (UK), Knotty House (CA) or your favorite Scheepjes stockist.
Eating my favorite flavor
You might think, a skinny scarf? How can that possibly be luxurious? I am going for volume and serious overkill here. That is what will make this luxurious. I am envisioning at least 4, maybe even 5 wraparounds. If that doesn’t make for a luxurious feel, nothing will.
I am slowly but steadily eating away at my Raspberry Rocky Roads (752) yarn. I must say, the yarn is surprisingly easy to work with and the drape is just fantastic. With a bit of imagination I am turning my yarn cake into a scarf cake.
My yarn is going faster and the yarn cake is getting smaller. Next week I will show you my finished scarf, see you then!
With love,
Esther

This looks so nice, Esther. Such a beautiful colour too. I also have a Scheepjes Whirl I’ve bought a while ago but for now I’m not ready yet to use it as it looks so precious, I want to use it for the right project (like maybe a shawl) or even a scarf, now that I see yours.
[On another note, I’m going to attend one of your workshops at Hooks & Yarns in Amsterdam on 19th Aug. Looking forward to meeting you there 🙂 ]

I love the Whirl yarn and I am excited to see your end project. I am currently doing a Mijo Crochet Secret Paths Sjal/ Shawl using my ball of Fruity ‘O’ Tutty. I can not wait to get more. Whirl is fantastic!

Deze sjaal heet straks Endless Love Skinny Scarf. Het patroon komt over twee weken, moet de laatste hand nog aan de details leggen.
