Yarn details

Winter Warmth with a Gentle Glow.

Wrap yourself in the cozy elegance of Lily's Loop™  Cake Yarn. Unlike flat cotton yarns, this luxurious blend features a touch of Premium Wool (8%) and Silky Nylon (19%), creating a soft "halo" of fuzz that catches the light beautifully.

Designed in a convenient "Cake" shape, the colors shift slowly and seamlessly as you stitch. It is the ultimate choice for creating romantic triangle shawls, warm winter hats, and stunning mandala blankets that look like they took months to make!

Why You’ll Love the "Softy" Series:

  • 🧶 The "Halo" Texture: The addition of wool and nylon gives the yarn a soft, fuzzy texture (we call it a "halo"). It adds warmth and a dreamy, vintage look to your projects without being scratchy.

  • 🎨 Painterly Gradients: No need to switch balls to change colors. The yarn does the work for you, creating effortless stripes and ombré effects that are perfect for large projects like blankets and shawls.

  • 💪 Warm yet Durable: By blending wool with high-quality acrylic, we’ve created a yarn that is warm enough for winter but durable enough for everyday wear. It holds its shape beautifully.

  • 📏 Generous Length: With approx. 228 meters (249 yards) per ball, this yarn goes a long way. It is lighter and loftier than cotton, making your finished garments feel like a cloud.

📝 A Note on Knots (Please Read)

Due to the manufacturing process of long-gradient yarns, it is industry standard to occasionally find a factory knot (joint) in the skein where the fibers connect. This is not a defect and does not affect the color transition. Simply join your yarn and keep stitching!

How much yarn do I need?

Start with the yarn amounts in your pattern. If you’re substituting yarn, make a small sample first. Hook size and tension can change the finished size and the amount of yarn you use.
