Offering excellent stitch definition, it is superb for colourwork projects and with a palette of 60 shades in the collection, all tastes are catered for.

Woolwise is not only pleasurable to work with, it is also practical. The Superwash fibres 30-degree cycle, making projects easy to care for without the risk of shrinkage or felting, which is often a concern with traditional wool yarns. This makes it particularly appealing to those who craft children’s clothing, home textiles and anything that requires more frequent washing. However, to save water, where possible leave out to air dry instead. Pure wool is a remarkable material with a natural ability to keep itself clean.

Representing a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, Woolwise embodies Scheepjes’ commitment to quality and sustainability. Wool that would otherwise end up in landfill is repurposed for hooks and needles instead, without compromises on quality or beauty. A wise choice indeed.
