Brooklyn Tweed Loft Yarn

Description
Loft channels Targhee-Columbia wool’s airy bounce into feather-light lace, accessories and garments. It's a woolen-spun 2ply yarn with delicate twist especially designed for unique lightness of hand. Loft is not a sock yarn, and should be treated it a little more gently when it’s on the winder and the needles. Once your garment is blocked, the stitches will cohere in a beautifully even and sturdy fabric. Lace garments should open up to reveal stitch motifs with relatively mild blocking. Also, Loft has great flexibility of gauge so it can be knit on US 0 needles for a dense and durable fabric or on US 4 needles for ethereal open work.
*Note: two strands of Loft held together can substitute for worsted weight in patterns where you’d like greater stitch definition or a marled fabric of two colors.
