Product Details
Bloomsbury DK is a beautiful silky soft DK weight yarn, spun from the softest merino wool. This hand-dyed yarn is perfect for knitting cosy sweaters and scarves and will knit to any DK weight pattern. Bloomsbury has a wonderfully soft handle that is luxuriously gentle on the skin, and suitable for all types of knitting and crochet. The final spun thread has been plied together with just enough twist to prevent pilling but to allow the fabric to softly drape.
The 10 launch colours have been personally designed by Irish designer Carol Feller. Known for designing knitwear that is well shaped, flattering to wear and enjoyable to knit Carol likes to work with different construction methods, so long as they enhance the knitting experience. Carol has divided the palette into three sets of colours that work well together and enhance each other: Blues, Fall and Fuchsia.

Toni Lipsey recommended this yarn for her Odyssey Wrap. I had never heard of it and thought maybe I'd use some other DK weight that I already had. But then someone in the Yarn Hive mentioned a sale on this yarn and said, "If anyone is planning to make the Odyssey Wrap, it's worth getting this yarn." So I ordered it and I loved it from the first few moments! I plan on buying more to use in other projects. Every single time I worked on this project using this yarn, I kept noticing how much I loved the yarn. I can't really describe why, but I did!

This is lovely to knit with and doesn’t split. Soft and comfortable to wear, but I haven’t tried to wash it yet.
It blocked out really big and shapeless couldn't regain its shape had to frog the whole garment
I love this yarn. I’ve already knitted myself a jumper in one colour and it’s so comfortable that I wanted to knit another in a different colour. It’s lovely to knit with and so, so warm and comfy to wear. There’s a bit of “pilling” which is why I only gave 4 stars but otherwise would have been 5 ⭐
This yarn knits like a dream. It's buttery soft, and is exactly what I needed for the cowl I'm creating. It's warm, and knits up beautifully with great stitch definition.
I'm knitting a sweater in a purl stitch diamond pattern and the stitch definition with this yarn is very good, even with the uneven colouring. It feels like a soft cotton yarn, but it has body and it drapes well. There's no pilling and it's nice to knit with. I did find some of the hanks a challenge to wind up, so lots of patience needed here!
Love this yarn! Knits up like a dream, and was well skeined so winding was a breeze. Love that I could get the same colors used for the Toph Hat by Wormy Woolhead.
Crochet up perfectly for this pattern design. The purchase from Lovecraft was excellent.
