Why you'll love it

Love the look of rustic wool but want something that’s soft to wear?
BC Garn Loch Lomond is an organic tweedy DK yarn with personality, softness and tons of versatility. This is a lofty, woollen-spun yarn with a distinctly British tweed aesthetic, full of charming little nups that bring colour and texture to every stitch. It's gorgeous in colourwork, detailed stitches or simple stockinette.

It’s officially an 8ply / DK weight, but works across a range of gauges – from 5ply / sportweight right up to 10ply / light worsted – making it a go-to for sweaters, cardigans, shawls and more.

The fabric is light yet warm, softens beautifully with blocking, and has just the right rustic bounce for traditional or modern designs alike.

Loch Lomond is GOTS certified organic. The raw wool is sourced from mulesing-free farms in South America, then spun and dyed in Turkey under strict environmental and ethical standards.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).
