Loops Luxe Chunky Single Skeins
We've waited 15 years for this...and it's finally here!
Loops Luxe is our very own exclusive yarn - Shelley worked with her new friends she met in Peru during the filming of Knit Stars Season 4, to develop the yarn of her dreams! It's a blend fit for a queen: 70% Royal Alpaca (the best of the best) and 30% Mulberry Silk with a lovely twist, delicious silky sheen and next-to-your-neck softness.
We created a palette of our favorite hues: Natural, Charcoal, Light Grey, Loops Blue, Perfectly Pink, Orchid and Green Ash. The yarn works up at a versatile aran-to-chunky weight so you can take lots of your favorite projects to the next level. It's great for scarves, shawls, sweaters, blankets, hats and more!

"Pippi Cowl" by Shelley Brander @knitstars
"The dropstitch is one of my all-time favorites. It makes for an incredibly quick knit, and provides an open, drapey fabric - perfect for spring and summer (and even fall) in Oklahoma! I call this Pippi because it looks like a long body stocking until you put it on."- Shelley
This simple, quick cowl is a showstopper! It's one you'll reach for again and again, in most any climate. The drop stitch is really satisfying to work, and you can start the project in the morning and wear it out on the town at night. It's that fast!
Beth used one skein each of Loops Luxe Chunky in Light Grey, Natural, and Perfectly Pink and size US 15 (10mm) needles to make her Pippi. This pattern is free with purchase of 3 skeins of Loops Luxe Chunky. Just add the yarn and pattern to your cart, and a discount will automatically be applied to give you the pattern for free.
