Loft / Brooklyn Tweed
Loft is a 2-ply fingering weight yarn, gently woolen-spun from soft, springy American Targhee-Columbia wool. This distinctive spinning process gives Loft a unique bounce and airiness, with a handcrafted, heathered finish. Ideal for lightweight garments and accessories, lace, and nuanced colorwork. Handle gently while knitting, then wet block to see Loft bloom into full beauty.
As a result of its airy woolen-spun construction, Loft works well at a wonderful range of gauges:
6 - 8 stitches to 1"
Suggested Needle: 2 - 3.5 mm (US 0 - 4)
Suggested Hook: 2.25 - 4 mm (US B-1 - G-6)
Loft is a handcrafted product. For best results, we recommend alternating skeins when joining in a new skein for even color distribution.
When you need a little more tensile strength, whether for seaming or because you’re about to put a group of stitches under pressure with a big cabling maneuver, simply twirl your working yarn a few revolutions in the direction of the ply twist to strengthen it.
