Non-Superwash Wool

Natural Warmth, Beautiful Stitch Definition

Explore non-superwash wool yarns at Loop, from traditional untreated wool to soft wool and alpaca blends. These yarns are loved for their warmth, elasticity, and natural texture, making them wonderful choices for sweaters, hats, mittens, and colorwork. Discover beautiful fibers that bring character and lasting comfort to handmade projects.

Why Choose Non-Superwash Wool?

Non-superwash wool retains the natural characteristics of untreated wool fibers, including the microscopic scales that help stitches grip one another. The result is often a fabric with excellent warmth, elasticity, and structure.

These qualities make untreated wool yarn especially appealing for sweaters, hats, mittens, and traditional colorwork. Its natural grip helps stitches settle together beautifully, while its elasticity can help garments maintain their shape.

Beautiful Yarns for Every Project

Our non-superwash collection includes yarns in a wide range of weights and textures. Berroco Lanas is a versatile, affordable choice for everyday knitting, while Kelbourne Woolens Scout is excellent for sweaters and colorwork. Isager Jensen offers traditional wool character and beautiful stitch definition, and Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok is a wonderful choice for accessories, garments, and blankets.

You'll also find wool blends that introduce additional softness, texture, and drape.

Caring for Non-Superwash Wool

Most non-superwash wool yarns are best washed gently by hand in cool water and dried flat. Avoid agitation and sudden temperature changes, which can cause wool to felt or shrink. Always check the individual yarn's care instructions.

Superwash or Non-Superwash?

Both types of wool have their advantages. Non-superwash wool is often preferred for its structure, elasticity, and natural grip, while superwash wool is treated to resist felting and can be easier to care for.
