Scheepjes Woolwise 706 Birch Bark - beige wool yarn

What should I knit or crochet with Scheepjes Woolwise yarn? 

Scheepjes Woolwise proves that sustainability requires no compromises: this yarn is just as soft and elastic as traditional merino yarns, while simultaneously protecting the environment. The DK / Light (3) weight, paired with 4mm knitting needles, is an ideal choice for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats, warm blankets, or even baby clothes, as the finished texture is light and exceptionally breathable.

• February 2026 marks the start of the Scheepjes Botanical Brioche MAL – a Make-A-Long event using Woolwise yarn, where you can knit a scarf or a cowl. You can read more about it in our blog post here: Botanical Brioche MAL >>>

How does Woolwise help your creations stay beautiful for years?

Since the yarn meets the requirements of the Global Recycled Standard and OEKO-TEX Standard 100, you can be certain that you are holding premium quality in your hands that is free from harmful substances. The massive color palette consisting of 60 shades allows you to create garments that perfectly match your personality, retaining their shape and color even after washing.

Expert Tip

Although the yarn is machine washable (delicate/wool program at 30 degrees), wool's natural self-cleaning ability means it is often enough to simply air out your finished piece, which helps preserve the material's original shine and softness even longer. Try it with textured patterns, as this yarn will highlight every single stitch beautifully!
