Pro tip: Before you start working the Twirl cake, run all 4 treads through a small bead to help the threads stay together throughout the project.

I purchased some of this yarn a while ago but was slightly put off when it arrived to find that the yarn appeared as four strands. No, I didn't read the blurb beforehand and put off using it. However, I started a new project last night and have been more than pleasantly surprised. Somehow, the four strands doen't separate when you are working on your project (I'm currently crotcheting). It makes up into a lovely, soft fabric. I'm currently using shade 10 which starts off as a rich, dark teal which ihas recently become a firm favourite of mine. I wouldn't hesitate to use this yarn again, especially for spring/summer projects.

I've just started to crochet at 54 years young, and I'm obsessed with colour changing shawls. So I came across Hobbii and their wonderful Twirl yarns. So I purchased 3 (remember, I've never crocheted before!) and when they arrived I couldn't wait to get started on a shawl. Excellent quality yarn and the colour changing cakes are mesmerising. I went for colours 13, 25 & 35, all gorgeous. I'm currently crocheting a Virus Shawl in number 25, light bright blue changing to dark denim blue. They are stunning and I'll certainly purchase again from Hobbii. Delivery time was satisfactory, no problems. Thank you Hobbii!

So much to say, beautiful range of colours, from the bright and bold, through the dusty to the pastel, all gorgeous. So difficult to choose what to buy (I want one of all!!)
Such a pleasure to work with, though it's not a spun yarn, l don't find it splits when crocheting with it.
Lovely quality cotton, the colour is beautifully gradual, instead of a chopped off effect you can get with some other brands.
It gives a lovely soft drape, holds it's shape and colour when washed.
In my opinion you can't go wrong with the Twirl.

Loving working on a blanket out of this ! The gradual colour change is gorgeous. I was very nervous as I had never used stranded cotton before, but it works well and yes the bead trick really helps. (There was a slight hitch in the middle as one thread had obviously got broken, but a quick snip and rejoin soon sorted it!) This is also my first time using cotton and it is working up beautifully with a lovely drape.

Oh, how I love this yarn. There is such a gentle transition between the shades that you hardly notice it happening, I believe one strand at a time is changed so all the colours blend in quite magically. Not only does it look beautiful when made up but it is soft to the touch when you are using it and you hardly know when you are wearing it. I have almost finished this shawl and can't wait to start another.
