Scheepjes Cotton Whirl

The return of the little boats.

Scheepjes – "little boats" in Dutch. A name that tells of journeys, of cargo brought to the wool merchants via the waterways of the Netherlands. Since 1799 a story of ups and downs: 190 years of wool production, then bankruptcy, then 22 years of silence. Until 2010, the De Bondt family decided that some stories are too beautiful to end.

Cotton Whirl is the new soul of an old heart. The answer to the question: How would a 200-year-old Dutch traditional house make yarn today? With 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton. With water that is recycled instead of wasted. With respect for the earth that carries us.

1000 meters in a single cake. That's not just generous – it's revolutionary. Enough for a scarf that wraps around you. For a poncho that tells stories. For a project that won't be interrupted halfway through because the yarn runs out. A gradient that unfolds over hundreds of meters like a long breath.

Every color change is a little miracle. Where other yarns knot, Cotton Whirl connects so gently that you can hardly feel the transition. No stumbling while knitting, no searching for the beginning of the new color. Just this flowing transition from one tone to the next, as if the yarn itself were painting.

Fingering weight, but with a twist that lets your stitches glide effortlessly. Perfect for the warm months, breathable and light. But also for the projects that should bring joy all year round – scarves that never get too warm, tops that endure the summer.

Cotton Whirl is the yarn for your sustainable dreams. For all who know that beauty and responsibility can go hand in hand. For projects that not only make you happy but also allow you to sleep peacefully.
