Zauber Perlen by Schoppel Wolle

Zauber Perlen is 7 little balls of color — some in one tone, some in contrasting colors — that are strung together like pearls on an easy-to-remove elastic cord. Each separate ball is 63 yards; a ring is 100 grams, so weight wise, this product is akin to sock yarn.

We are swatching it for lace knitting using US #5 needles and love the open look and soft blending of color. Lace knitting goes so easy on Addi Lace Tip needles. The long slender tip makes stitches like YO and SSK a breeze to knit.

Our design eye sees colorful lace shawls and scarves in Perlen. The ever popular Hitchhiker Shawl would be enchanting. But we know some of you will use Perlen for sleeve cuffs and sock tops!
