ENTROPY DK

We are so very excited to welcome Entropy DK to Loop!

If you've ever marveled at the uniquely colorful qualities of handspun yarn, you're going to love Entropy DK. Each skein is milled, dyed and spun by Lisa Westra at Feederbrook Farms in Maryland in the most stunning, special colorways!

Entropy DK is a 2-ply, DK-weight, BFL yarn. BFL stands for Blueface Leicester, a breed of sheep that yields yarn with a squishy, next-to-skin softness that's right up there with merino! BFL yarn does not pill, making Entropy DK an amazing combination of softness, loft and durability!

Each skein of Entropy DK is approximately 260 yards and is so named for the randomness of colors as the singles are plied together. As you knit, the colors will gradually shift and stripe.

Please note that skein colorways are similar but not identical and will result in knits with a charming color quality typical of handspun yarn.

ENTROPY DK + SCOUT

We love how the gradient qualities of Entropy DK pair with the solid tones of Kelbourne Woolens Scout and think they'd knit up beautifully together in many of the designs below. Scout has the same slightly wooly quality and spin, and the palettes match beautifully!

Here are some of our favorite Entropy DK + Scout color combos!

Scarlet + Joule

Gray + Kinetic Energy

Teal + Symbiosis

Wheat + Specific Heat

Stone + Spectrum

Navy + Event Horizon
