Loop Linden

Loop Linden is our fingering-weight blend of superwash merino, cashmere, and nylon, hand-dyed in small batches in Philadelphia. The cashmere gives Linden a soft feel, while its smooth, round strand makes it a lovely choice for projects worn close to the skin.

With 435 yards per skein, Linden works beautifully for shawls, scarves, fine-gauge sweaters, and special accessories. Its tonal colors bring gentle variation to simple stitches and texture alike.
