Scheepjes Woolwise is a pure natural fibre yarn, developed for knitters and crocheters looking for a sustainable staple DK yarn. Soft against the skin and gentle on the planet, Woolwise is made from 100% Recycled Superwash Merino Wool, transforming factory waste for future comfort.

The Finer Details

With beautifully soft fibres, DK weight Woolwise is light, breathable and ideal for crafting garments and accessories. Trapping heat for winter warmth and wicking moisture to keep wearers cool in the summer, it is suitable for year-round projects, from spring sweaters to snug hats. 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 can be washed on a 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 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.
