How can you create fashionable, eco-friendly pieces that stand the test of time?
The Scheepjes Woolwise Pattern Portfolio provides the perfect answer. The first section is a beautiful lookbook, showcasing the endless possibilities of Woolwise yarn through stunning photography. The second section contains clear, step-by-step instructions to ensure your finished project looks exactly as perfect as the photos. Woolwise yarn is unique because its natural properties keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer, making your handmade garments year-round favorites.
Why choose recycled merino wool for your next project?
Many crafters worry that pure wool is difficult to maintain, but Woolwise changes that. This is a "superwash" yarn, meaning your creations can be safely washed in the washing machine on a wool program without shrinking or felting. Because of merino’s natural self-cleaning properties, a simple airing outside is often enough to refresh your garment, saving water in the process. With 60 different colors available, you are guaranteed to find the perfect palette for any style.
Expert Tip / Designer Thought
Due to the natural elasticity of merino wool, I highly recommend wet blocking your finished projects. This allows the stitches to settle beautifully and ensures the garment takes on its final, elegant shape. This yarn is also exceptionally rewarding for multi-color (fair isle) work, as the fibers blend together seamlessly.
