The Definitive Guide to Whirl & Whirlette Combinations.


Scheepjes Whirl yarns have been enormously popular over the last few months, and with the addition of our Whirlette yarns, their popularity has sky rocketed!
Whirlettes are exactly the same yarn as Whirl but in a single colour, adding additional length to some Whirls for larger projects, or additional options such as sleeves on a garment in the same colour, or edgings.
Dat Scheepjes Whirl een ontzettend geliefd garen is, is duidelijk. En nu onze Whirlette garens er zijn, is het garen nog populairder geworden!
Whirlettes zijn gemaakt van exact hetzelfde garen als Whirl, maar dan in een enkele kleur. Daardoor kan je een projectje gemakkelijk wat groter maken, maar je kan bijvoorbeeld ook mouwtjes of sierranden aan een kledingstuk toevoegen.

At Scheepjes HQ, we are constantly being asked which Whirlettes match which Whirls. So, I've put together this comprehensive guide of matching Whirls and Whirlettes.
Op Scheepjes HQ krijgen we regelmatig de vraag welke Whirlettes bij welke Whirl passen. Daarom heb ik een handige gids opgesteld waarin dit allemaal voor je op een rijtje staat.

Whirls always start and end with a solid colour. I’ve marked the Whirls with a black solid dot that have a matching colour to a Whirlette, meaning you can seamlessly go from a whirl solid colour at the beginning or end of the yarn cake to a Whirlette and keep the gradient effect.
Scheepjes Whirl begint en eindigt altijd met een effen kleur. De Whirls waarvan een effen kleur met een Whirlette overeenkomt heb ik een zwarte stip gegeven. Deze Whirls kan je naadloos over laten gaan in de matchende Whirlette zonder dat het verloop-effect verloren gaat.

The colours of Whirls between the first and last are always two colours twisted together to make a smooth gradient. I’ve marked with a half & half (black and white) dot the whirls where one of the colours twisted matches the Whirlette. This means the colour in the Whirl matching the Whirlette does not appear solid but is twisted with a second colour. These Whirl & Whirlette combinations will co-ordinate well, but will not provide a seamless solid colour. Both will look beautiful and it’s personal choice, which you prefer!
Tussen de eerste en laatste effen kleur in een Whirl zitten overgangskleuren. Dit zijn twee kleuren die in elkaar getwijnd zijn om het verloop-effect te creëren. Ik heb de Whirls waarvan een van deze ‘overgangskleuren’ overeenkomt met een Whirlette een zwart-witte stip gegeven. Dit betekent dat een van de kleuren in de Whirl overeenkomt met de Whirlette, maar dat deze kleur in de Whirl wel getwijnd is met een andere kleur. Deze Whirl & Whirlettes kan je heel goed combineren, maar zijn geen naadloze overgang.
Beiden mogelijkheden zien er mooi uit en het is aan jou welke optie je kiest!

    Before I saw this though I needed a Whirlette to my Blueberry Bambam and I thought it looked like Bubble would match too. But maybe I fooled myself when I only could see them in pictures.

  19. I’ve just had a look and maybe, just maybe Whirlette Avocado (861) might match with the green shade in Blackberry Mint Chip Whirl. Of course I’m not an expert, I’m only a Scheepjes lover but I hope this helps.

  23. The whirlette Blueberry doesn't fit at all to any of the colours of the whirl Green Tea Tipple. Either the list here has some mistakes or I got an odd lot. They are really different. One is much more blue, the other much more green. They look horrible together.

    1. Neither does it fit to the whirl Passion Fruit Melt for the same reason.

  28. Hi Simy!
    I'm really happy to have found this guide! I intend to work a lot with whirls and whirlettes this year, so it is really useful to have this psot around. Thank you for your effort!
    I see your suggestion on this post is to mix Whirlette Chewy with Jumping Jaffa Pop. I bought both of them, but I came to believe that Whirlette Chewy is rather dark for the gray in Jumping Jaffa Pop.
    Do you thing Whirlette Frosted would be a preferable choice? If its not too much to ask, if you do happen to have them both around, would you mind to give your opinion on the matter?
    Thank you very much for such quality content! I've been diving on your blog and it has been a really pleasant experience.
    Best regards,
    Bruna.
