Loop Petal

Loop Petal is our soft worsted-weight blend of merino, cashmere, and nylon, hand-dyed in small batches in Philadelphia. Its warmth and gentle feel make it a lovely choice for cowls, hats, scarves, and other pieces worn close to the skin.

Petal's tonal colors add subtle variation to simple stitches and textured patterns. It is also machine washable, making a cashmere-blend knit easier to care for and give as a gift.
