Scheepjes Whirl

The idea that changed everything.

In 2010, when the De Bondt family took over the legacy of the little boats, they dreamed of more than just yarn. They dreamed of magic. Of projects that surprise themselves as they develop. Of colors that flow like water, change like the sky, tell like old stories. Whirl was that dream, turned into yarn – and the rest is history.

1000 meters of transformation in a single cake. That was revolutionary. Not 50 meters here, 100 meters there – no, a whole scarf, a complete shawl, a full sweater from a single, flowing gradient. 60% cotton, 40% acrylic, but above all: 100% vision. Light, breathable, draping like a dream.

The special twist sections became Whirl's signature. Not uniform, not predictable – but with that characteristic “flavour,” that special spice that only Whirl has. The generous twist prevents splitting, allows for quick work, lets the colors dance instead of struggle.

54 delicious colorways with names to fall in love with: Liquorice Yumyum, as if yarn had become a candy store. Each color change carefully knotted, so it disappears in your stitches like a secret known only to you.

Whirl became family. From that one big idea emerged Cotton Whirl for sustainable dreams, Frosted Whirl for sparkling moments, Whirlette as a loyal partner. The Aurora collection celebrates the Northern Lights, the Ombré edition the gentle simplicity. But it all started here, with this first bold thought: What if yarn could paint itself?

The little boats brought not just wool – they brought a revolution. Whirl changed how we think about gradients, how we plan projects, about beauty that evolves rather than being static.

Whirl is the yarn for your big, flowing dreams. For projects that find their own direction as they develop. For all who understand that the most beautiful surprises are often those we cannot plan – but can only let happen.
