In for sweater season, we’ve got two super-soft, 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 styles!
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.
Super bulky Mohair So Soft combines the exquisite, airy halo of superfine kid mohair with the cozy structure of soft Merino wool, delivering maximum volume and warmth while remaining weightless on your needles and beautifully light on your body.
