More from Schoppel Wolle
Schoppel Wolle is a family mill in southern Germany with one trademark: the long, slow colour gradient. Zauberball Crazy is the famous one — a two-ply sock yarn where each ply runs its own gradient, so the fabric marls and shifts through the ball without repeating. Zauberball Starke 6 is the same idea at a DK gauge, Zauberball Crazy Cotton the organic-cotton version, and Edition 3 a three-ply extrafine merino that fades through three shades a ball.
The solids are as good as the gradients. Ambiente is a superwash merino sock yarn, Reggae a soft single-ply merino at aran weight, In-Silk a merino-silk worsted, and El Linio pure linen for summer. Schoppel comes to the US through Skacel, and we carry the range in depth.
