Most lovely Shetland yarn. Loop has over 175 colours!

We have so many beautiful colours we can't list them all on one page so we've split them by colour groups. Let us know if you need any help choosing!

Another beauty from Eden Cottage yarns. We have a new colour this Winter; Dusk (it's beautiful!)

These are not hand-dyed like all of the other Eden Cottage Yarns that we stock, but they have achieved a very similar palette that is so distinct to Eden Cottage!
This yarn is so light to wear, and yet lovely and warm and hardwearing, with gorgeous, rich depth of colour and a beautiful sheen from the silk. It's great for a really wide range of projects, and being machine washable makes it a bit more practical. 
Loop stocks all 20 colours!

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches and variations between skeins should be expected. Due to the individual nature of hand-dyed yarn, we would always recommend alternating skeins.

Titus Lace was formally called 'Theseus Lace' but it is the same exact yarn. So, if purchasing, some of your labels might say 'Theseus Lace' but, rest assured it is the same as 'Titus Lace'.
