We’re so thrilled to be stocking this beautiful yarn from Loom, a small independent dyer based in Somerset, UK.

Characterful, lustrous, and full of depth.

This DK-weight yarn showcases the unique beauty of Gotland fleece, blended with Bluefaced Leicester for a balance of strength, softness, and structure. Gotland wool is known for its distinctive long fibres and natural sheen, creating a subtle lustre and gentle halo that gives finished pieces a rich, almost silvery depth.

There’s a quiet robustness to this yarn — it has body and resilience, while still feeling smooth in the hand. The BFL brings elasticity and softness, making it a pleasure to knit and ideal for garments that need both shape and durability.

Spun in non superwash, it’s perfectly suited to sweaters, cardigans, and everyday accessories — pieces where texture and longevity are just as important as softness.

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, allowing the natural qualities of the fibre to shine through. Colours take on a particular depth on Gotland fleece, with nuanced tones and a gentle luminosity that shifts beautifully in the light.

This yarn is our pick for Teti Lutsak's newest shawl, Wusai — we think the two are a perfect match.
