Loom – BFL Gotland DK (NSW)

Were so thrilled to be stocking this beautiful yarn from Loom, a small independent dyer based in Somerset, UK.

Characterful, lustrous, and full of depth.

This DK-weight yarn showcases the unique beauty of Gotland fleece, blended with Bluefaced Leicester for a balance of strength, softness, and structure. Gotland wool is known for its distinctive long fibres and natural sheen, creating a subtle lustre and gentle halo that gives finished pieces a rich, almost silvery depth.

Theres a quiet robustness to this yarn it has body and resilience, while still feeling smooth in the hand. The BFL brings elasticity and softness, making it a pleasure to knit and ideal for garments that need both shape and durability.

Spun in non superwash, its perfectly suited to sweaters, cardigans, and everyday accessories pieces where texture and longevity are just as important as softness.

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, allowing the natural qualities of the fibre to shine through. Colours take on a particular depth on Gotland fleece, with nuanced tones and a gentle luminosity that shifts beautifully in the light.

This yarn is our pick for Teti Lutsak’s newest shawl, Wusai we think the two are a perfect match.
