ScheepjesScheepjes Whirl 766 Mid Morning Mocha'roo 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.
