Shelter’s smaller sibling 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 traditionally handcrafted appearance, ideal for lightweight garments and accessories, lace, and nuanced colourwork. Handle gently while knitting, then wet block to see Loft bloom into full beauty.
