My Favorite 3 Patterns for Schoppelwolle's Zauberwolle
Hi lovelies! I adore a good color-changing yarn, so imagine my excitement when I found a non-superwash, 100% wool version (not so easy to come by)! Schoppelwolle's Zauberwolle comes in at 250 m / 273 yds per 100 g and knits up beautifully to a fingering-weight, sport-weight and DK gauge.
It's fabulous on its own, and great combined with neutral solids! My top picks for yarns to go with Zauberwolle are BC Garn Semilla Melange, De Rerum Natura Ulysse and Holst Garn Supersoft. All three have a broad color range, so finding a matching or contrasting solid to your chosen color-changing yarn should be a breeze!
I couldn't resist picking my favorite 3 patterns for Zauberwolle - if you want to see more (like, lots more) pattern ideas, head over to our Pinterest board for color-changing yarns!
The Traveler Shawl by Andrea Mowry | Schoppelwolle Zauberwolle in Schattenspringer and Moonbar
Andrea Mowry has by my estimation by far the highest number of patterns for color-changing yarns out there. For my top 3 favorite pattern post, I went with one that allows you to play with as many (or as few) color-changing colorways (what a word!) as you like - her The Traveler Shawl!
I think this would look so, so good in Schattenspringer(on the left) and Moonbar (on the right)!
The pattern comes with two shawl sizes – for both, you need 3 cakes of Zauberwolle.
Pressed Flowers Cardigan by Amy Christoffers | Schoppelwolle Zauberwolle in Aldebaran and BC Garn Semilla Melange in Light Grey
My first test of Schoppelwolle's Zauberwolle for the shop was Amy Christoffer's Pressed Flowers Hat, and I completely get the hype around it now! It's a super intuitive, very fun to knit (and very easy to memorize) stitch pattern that makes you want to knit just one more row, and one more row, and one more row...
I've been dreaming of making a Pressed Flowers Cardigan since I finished my hat. It has such a wearable shape – slightly cropped, boxy, with a lovely V-neck and would for sure become a wardrobe staple. (Now, can someone please give me an extra day or two per week just to knit?)
I would love to knit it with BC Garn Semilla Melange in Light Greyfor the background color, and Zauberwolle in Aldebaran for the color-changing yarn.
Depending on the size you choose to knit, you need (5, 6, 6, 7) (7, 8, 8, 9) skeins of BC Garn Semilla Melange and 3 (3, 3, 4) (4, 5, 5, 5) cakes of Zauberwolle for the Pressed Flowers Cardigan.
Bunnell Hat by Alicia Plummer | Schoppelwolle Zauberwolle in Stone-Washed and De Rerum Natura Ulysse in Nuit
If you want to try out a color-changing yarn first, might I recommend a hat? There are a lot of really fantastic hat pattern options out there, and they knit up really, really quickly too. Plus, one can never have too many hats, right? (Especially if, like in this household of mine, they mysterically make their way onto kid's and husband's heads...)
Alicia Plummer's Bunnell Hat is a lovely stranded colorwork option that would look good in any color combination you choose!
I thought it would be fun to go for a darker version, so I picked Zauberwolle's Stone-Washed, combined with De Rerum Natura's Ulysse in Nuit.
One cake of Zauberwolle and one of Ulysse should be enough for any of the two sizes.
Which one is your favorite pattern? Or do you have a different pattern suggestion for our latest color-changing yarn? I'd love to hear about it in the comments below!

What’s the difference between combed top, roving, batts and rolags?
Learning to spin yarn comes with a huge array of new jargon, and a lot of these terms relate to how the fibre is prepared. Whether animal or plant fibre, there is a variety of ways it can be processed from raw material into something you can spin into yarn.
We’re going to look at some of the common formats available to hand spinners, what their characteristics are and the kind of spinning techniques they’re suitable for.
6 Joyful Spring Knitting Patterns - My Current Favorites!
Hi lovelies! Spring has sprung here in Berlin – as I am typing this (mid March), the buds on the chestnut tree out the window are a few days away from bursting, the forsythias are in full bloom, and our strawberry plants have started their comeback as well (leaves so far, but Aurin checks every day for berries :)).
So it's no surprise at all that today's blog post is very much inspired by the sun and the warmer days to come! I have put together a sweet roundup of 6 joyful spring knitting patterns, all of which I'd love to have on my needles soon. (If someone can get me an extra day or two per week to knit (oh, and to spin), I'd love that!)
The three yarns I've paired them with are my favorite spring / summer yarns: De Rerum Natura's Antigone, a delightful sport-weight linen yarn, Wooldreamers' Saona, a 50% Spanish cotton, 50% Spanish wool blend, and Natissea's Pernelle, our newest spring yarn: A 100% European hemp yarn!
Get to Know: Pernelle, our first 100% hemp yarn!
Hi lovelies! As you might know, we are slowly, surely expanding the portfolio of the shop – I am always on the lookout for wonderful sustainable yarns that might fill gaps we still have, and one that was on the list since last summer was an additional spring / summer yarn.
When I learned about Natissea, a French yarn company dedicated to organic plant yarns, from Audrey Borrego last year, I immediately contacted them to order some samples. As soon as I had Pernelle, their 100% European hemp yarn, on the needles, it was love – grippy, but not ropey, with a lovely drape that only got stronger after a good washing and blocking session.
The shade cards had me swooning too – a really comprehensive, well-composed range of colors with something for everyone in it, from neutrals to spring-inspired pastels to deep jewel tones.
So I was so pleased when Natissea accepted us as a stockist – and I am extra excited to introduce Pernelle to you. Our first 100% hemp yarn, perfect for summer tops, T-Shirts, and lightweight sweaters!
I reached out to Mathilde over at Natissea and she graciously agreed to answer a few questions about Pernelle. I loved reading her answers!
