Loft is a 4ply / fingering weight yarn, woollen spun & fleece-dyed from Targhee-Columbia wool. Loft has a unique bounce and airiness, ideal for feather-light lace, accessories, and garments. It's not a sock yarn, so treat it a little more gently when it’s on the winder and your needles.
Stitches will cohere in a beautifully even and sturdy fabric after wet blocking and lace will open up to reveal the stitch motifs with relatively mild blocking. Loft has great flexibility of gauge; it can be knit on 2mm needles for a dense and durable fabric up to 4mm needles for ethereal open work.

Perfect for Colourwork
By: Maria on 26 April 2020Loft has become one of my favourite yarns! Because it is a woollen spun yarn it is almost weightless - even when knit up into a substantial garment. I chose to knit Andrea Mowry's Stonecrop sweater in three different shades of loft. It is an allover colourwork yoke - perfect for Loft. The selection of colours offered in this range allow for amazing contrasts or subtle compliments. And that sweet fleckiness is perfection. The yarn itself is fairly rustic and woolly - two of my favourite things! But after a good soak, it blooms and softens. I'm really looking forward to some cooler days and know I will get some good wear out of this garment this season.
