Playing With Yarn

Scheepjes Whirl Ombre and Four Free Patterns!

Hello, friends! I’m taking a short moment to shout something besides The Art of Crochet Blankets from the rooftops. It’s a yummy new yarn and four free patterns! Whether you’re a die-hard Scheepjes fan, or you’ve just newly discovered their yarns, I think you can agree that everyone is batty over Whirl! So it’s no surprise that Scheepjes just keeps giving us more Whirl flavors to love. This time they’ve come up with a Special Edition: Scheepjes Whirl Ombre, and it looks scrumptious as ever.

The Colors – YUM!

How sensational are these shades? When you see them all together, they look as sweet as candy, which is awesome! But taken individually, there is a lovely range of sensible colors here. The Shrinking Violet and the Coral Catastrophe are really calling to me, but that’s just today. Yesterday I was fawning over Sippy Sage and Golden Glowworm.. I guess it will just depend on my mood because they’re all winners!

The Dip Dye Pyramid Shawl – Jellina Creations

Jellina is my teammate in the Scheepjes Bloggers group, and I look up to her so much for her striking and unique designs which push the boundary of visual crochet texture. My favorite of her designs is a pattern she wrote for the Scheepjes Yarn Bookazine, FOLK issue (affiliate link) – the Two Toned Tote.

But for now, I’ll introduce Jellina’s “Dip Dye Pyramid Shawl” using Whirl Ombre color 554 Tangerine Tambourine. Isn’t it lovely? Find the blog post with free pattern for this lovely shawl by clicking here.
