When you want to make a BIG impact with your stitching, look no further than Loopy Mango!

Founded in 2004 by friends Oejong Kim and Anna Pulvermakher, NYC-based yarnmakers Loopy Mango believe crafting should be three things: fun, easy, and undeniably fashionable. With bold color palettes, beginner-friendly patterns, and luxurious natural fibre yarns, they help makers of all skill levels create modern, wearable pieces.

Just in for Fall, we’ve got two super soft and super-sized Loopy Mango favorites for you: Merino No. 5 and Mohair So Soft.

These cozy yarns are perfect for instant crafting gratification—just right for stitching up this season’s chunky sweater styles! But these epic yarns are more than just the latest trend—Loopy Mango’s gorgeous colors and high-quality natural fibers will have you making projects you’ll want to wear for years to come. Let’s take a look!

Merino No. 5

Loopy Mango’s signature super bulky yarn, Merino No. 5 is the ultimate for quick, satisfying projects. Incredibly soft, bouncy, and thick, Merino No. 5’s plush single ply of extra fine Merino wool is wrapped with a matching binder thread that gently holds the fibres together to add durability and reduce pilling.

To make the most of this super-sized yarn, Loopy Mango suggests needle or hook sizes from US#15 (P/Q) to US#50 (T/U/X):

• US#15 (10mm) creates a dense, structured, and cozy stitch ideal for warm beanies, structured headbands, and winter accessories.
• US#19 (15mm) serves as the classic sweet spot to bring chunky sweaters, cardigans, and plush blankets to life.
• US#36 (20mm) to US#50 (25mm) produces an ultra-lofty, open stitch with a beautiful drape, perfect for dramatic, airy statement scarves, shawls or oversized throw blankets.

For working with this amazingly soft and fluffy yarn, Loopy Mango recommends needle and hook sizes from US#13 (M/N-13) to US#19 (P/Q):

• US 13 (9mm) creates a plush, dense, and structured knit, excellent for extra-warm winter beanies and accessories.
• US 15 (10mm) to US 17 (12mm) offers the perfect everyday gauge for cozy sweaters, cardigans, and vests.
