We're currently loving the Seven Sisters Top, which is knit in Blue Sky Worsted Cotton Print, an amazing yarn with a fascinating production story! | | Blue Sky Worsted Cotton has been a Loop favorite since we opened and Blue Sky Fibers has launched a new iteration of this beloved yarn that we're super excited to bring you!
Blue Sky Worsted Cotton Print is a cotton yarn unlike any other cotton yarn -- there's no typical cotton "rope" texture here! It's certified organic cotton that's specially spun to deliver an incredibly soft loftiness that won't be hard on your hands like other cotton yarns can be.
So what does the "print" in Blue Sky Worsted Cotton Print mean? It's all about how the color is applied to the fiber. Blue Sky Fibers combines a special ink press process with artisan blending to create mosaic skeins that are one of a kind -- no two are exactly alike, giving you a hand-dyed feel but with more color uniformity during knitting, which can be tough to achieve with typical hand-dyed yarns.
Blue Sky Worsted Cotton Print creates beautiful fabrics with a distinctive marled look when knit on its own and it's also wonderful for mixing and matching with your favorite Blue Sky Worsted Cotton solids. Blue Sky Worsted Cotton Print comes in 150 yard put-ups and can be machine washed on gentle (lay flat to dry!). We stock all 8 nature-inspired colors online and at Loop in Center City- stop in to see this piece in person! | | How gorgeous are the clean, classic lines of this loose-fitting top? Available in 6 bust sizes, Seven Sisters is the perfect versatile knit with plenty of built in ease for transition season wear. Wear it on its own and enjoy how the cap sleeve gives a bit more coverage than a tank top. Or wear it as a vest! It looks as great dressed up over a blouse with capris as it does worn over a long sleeve tee with jeans!
We're knitting ours right now so it's ready to wear on those days when those quirky spring temps surprise us!
