Knitting with CRAZY PERLEN

Schoppel Crazy Perlen – Your Personal Wool Paintbox with Biodegradable Nylon

Knitting meets creativity in the most playful way with Crazy Perlen. Imagine opening a paintbox of yarn, each mini-ball like a pearl of colour, ready to be arranged in your own personal sequence. With this innovative format from Schoppel, every project becomes an adventure — uniquely yours, delightfully unpredictable, and built on the trusted strength of Admiral-quality wool.

My First Impressions

The name Crazy Perlen (meaning “Crazy Pearls”) couldn’t be more fitting. Each set is made up of small, numbered yarn balls that can be worked in sequence or rearranged to create your own palette. It’s an invitation to design your own stripes, fades, or colour blocks — all while enjoying the proven durability of wool blended with eco-friendly biodegradable nylon.
