LESS TRAVELED YARN

We are thrilled to welcome Less Traveled Yarn to Loop! These vibrant skeins look absolutely gorgeous on our shelves, and our to-knit list has grown quite a bit since its arrival!

This yarn comes to us from Sarah and Matt, a husband and wife team hailing from Phoenix, AZ, who are passionate about "slow fashion" (AKA handknitting) and the inspiring colors seen in their surrounding desert landscapes and city life.

Less Traveled Worsted is a squishy, worsted-weight yarn with vividly colored speckles. Speckled yarn is our kryptonite, and every colorway of this yarn is filled with mesmerizing speckles that meld together beautifully!

This machine-washable yarn is an easy-care choice for sweaters and grown-up accessories and an excellent option for colorful baby items as well!
