Loom - Alpaca Silk Cashmere (NSW)
More photos coming soon!
We’re so thrilled to be stocking this super gorgeous yarn from Loom, a small independent dyer based in Somerset, UK.
This is one of those rare yarns where softness immediately stands out. The blend of alpaca, silk, and cashmere creates an exceptionally smooth, buttery feel with a gentle halo and quiet warmth — the kind of softness that feels indulgent even as you’re knitting it.
A refined fingering-weight yarn, it offers an elegant balance of delicacy and strength. Alpaca brings its signature cloud-like handle, silk adds fluid drape and a subtle sheen, while cashmere elevates the whole blend with an unmistakable sense of luxury. The result is a yarn that feels as special as the finished piece — and one that truly earns its premium place in your stash.
This beautiful non superwash yarn is beautifully suited to lightweight garments, shawls, and accessories where softness and definition are equally important.
Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, resulting in delicate tonal shifts that bring depth and quiet character to your finished pieces.
