Loom | Alpaca Linen & Silk 4ply yarn

This Alpaca Linen yarn from Loom is soft, drapey and dreamy. Loom's Alpaca Linen has a beautiful balance between shine and halo and is perfect for summer. The linen fibre takes up the dye slightly differently, creating a delicate heathered effect, and will bloom and soften with age. Perfect for Summer knits like shawls, tees and light boxy sweaters. It can be worked up with a 4mm needle for a light, airy fabric. This yarn is hand-dyed in Somerset in the South West of England by the talented hands of Jess, who has a passion for moody, muted shades, be it a gentle speckle or a rich, saturated tone.

About Loom

Loom is a hand-dyed yarn and fibre studio based in Somerset in the South West of England, owned by Jess. She has a passion for moody, muted shades, be it a gentle speckle or a rich, saturated tone.

Jess learnt to knit after graduating from uni in 2007. After 4 years in finance, she left to pursue freelance opportunities in publishing, designing, writing, producing photography and videography projects for craft magazines.

Alongside this work, Jess began sewing a handmade wardrobe and, in 2017, learned to dye yarn to supplement her outfits. With some newfound inspiration, she started Loom a few years later, in 2019.
