We knew this would be popular, but the yarnistas had barely opened one box before stitchers began grabbing their favorite colors. Loopy Mango’s Mohair So Soft is sure to be a favorite, especially with fuzzy knits being on trend this season!
Bringing fun to natural fiber, Loopy Mango was founded in 2004 by New Yorkers Oejong Kim and Anna Pulvermahker to help makers of all skill levels create modern, wearable projects.
For cuddly cool-weather knits that work up in a flash, they’re pumping up the plush with their Mohair So Soft yarn, a fluffy mohair and Merino wool blend in a poppy palette of neon brights, cozy neutrals, and dreamy pastels (including brand-new colors Allure and First Love.)
