Shop / Yarns & Kits

Loft

By Neighborhood Fiber Co.

Please take a minute to click through these pictures. This is silk and mohair. This is Karida Collins at work, the pride of Baltimore, doing her magic. Look closely—there’s not a solid color to be found, just swirls of shades that shift and change.

It’s the yarn that makes Amy Christoffers’s Peek-Through Scarf/Cowl so extraordinary, in MDK Field Guide No. 6: Transparency.

You can see why Loft has caught our imagination. We hope it catches yours, too.

This product is currently out of stock and unavailable.

Everything you make with this yarn will be extraordinary.

These colors—so saturated in the skein, so vibrant—become something very subtle as they are knitted. If you have yet to work with silk and mohair like this, you are in for a treat.

It’s the yarn that makes Amy Christoffers’s Peek-Through Scarf/Cowl so special, in MDK Field Guide No. 6: Transparency.  Pick one skein each of two shades, and you’re off to the races. (OK, these races are kind of leisurely.)

And Loft is the choice for Ann Weaver’s floaty Sommerfeld Shawl, featured in MDK Field Guide No. 4: Log Cabin.

In addition, we have long admired the patterns over at Churchmouse Yarn and Teas for mohair/silk yarn. These are all beauties:

Spin Stitch Scarf and Wrap.

Inside Outside Cowl.

Mohair Bias Loop.

Color Play Mohair Scarf.

Color galore—we're celebrating with exuberant kits
