Yarn details

Sophisticated Depth. Cloud-Like Softness.

Elevate your wardrobe with the understated luxury of Lily's Loop™ Softy Wool Blend Cake Yarn. While our rainbow cakes offer a splash of color, these Monochromatic (Solid-Gradient) cakes are designed for texture lovers.

The unique 8% Wool and 19% Nylon blend creates a soft, fuzzy "halo" that glows in the light. The color isn't just flat; it possesses a subtle, painterly depth (tonal variation) that adds dimension to cables, bobbles, and simple stitches alike.


Why "Softy“ Cake Yarn is a Stash Essential:

  • 🧶 The "Halo" Texture: The nylon and wool blend creates a gentle fuzz that feels warm and looks expensive. It softens the look of every stitch, giving your handmade garments a professional, boutique finish.

  • 🎨 Semi-Solid Depth: This is not a flat, boring solid color. The "Single-Color Gradient" process adds slight variations in shade, creating a rich, heathered look that makes even simple stockinette stitch look interesting.

  • 👕 Perfect for Garments: Unlike loud variegated yarns that hide stitch patterns, this yarn highlights them! It is the perfect choice for cabled sweaters, textured cardigans, and classic scarves.

  • 📏 Generous Yardage: At 228 meters (249 yards) per 100g cake, it’s lightweight yet warm (DK Weight).

⚠️ Important: The Nature of this Yarn (Please Read)

To achieve this unique texture and color depth, we use a special spinning and dyeing process. Please note the following "Artisanal Characters":

  1. Joints/Knots: Due to the fiber limits, you may occasionally find a factory knot in the cake. This is industry standard—simply join and keep knitting!

  2. Subtle Variations: Slight variations in thickness or color shade between dye lots (and sometimes within the same cake) are normal. This adds to the organic, handmade aesthetic of the finished piece.

  3. Color Transfer: Darker shades may release a tiny amount of excess dye during the first wash. We recommend washing separately.
