Some featured yarns include:

Lofty Lou's Has Hedgehog Fibres in Stock
You asked for it and we listened. Lofty Lou's is so excited to stock our shelves with Hedgehog Fibres sock yarn. Straight from Ireland, this hand-dyed yarn comes in solid, variegated, and speckled varieties in a ton of colors. From subtle shades to brights and neons, there's something for everybody. You'll be eager to cast on your next project. Each skein of machine washable sock yarn comes with a whopping 400 meters (437 yards) of Merino (90%) and a hint of nylon (10%) for strength.

Keeping it Local - We Carry Liza Souza Hand Dyed Yarn
Straight from Placerville, Lisa is a home-town gem. Taking inspiration from the beautiful hills around El Dorado County or from her own gardens in Placerville, Lisa's artisan hand-dyed and hand-painted mill-spun yarns will add an artistry to any project.
​
Our very latest from Lisa Souza Dyeworks is her yummy Silk/Baby Camel. This is a fingering-weight yarn that's a natural golden color overdyed in jewel tones. It's 65% mulberry silk and 35% baby camel down and comes 436yds/hank.

Noro in the House!

Lofty Lou's carries Noro yarns in a dizzying array of colors and fibers. Let us introduce you to Kanzashi, a brand new bouclé yarn from Noro that will add color and texture to any project. This super bulky yarn (229 yards) will make some colorful, fun (and super quick) holiday gifts.

For those of you who love Ito, Noro also introduced a bulky version of this favorite called Bachi. These 200 gram balls have 264 yards of 100% wool yarn.

Noro yarns have gloriously brilliant and long color runs. Produced in Japan, each ball is a work of art and will turn your project into a jaw dropping piece. Try the Nightshift shawl by Andrea Mowry using just two balls of Noro Ito. This stunning shawl is made with slipped-stitches so you are only working one color at a time. Using Aran weight Ito yarn, it knits up quickly and produces a warm and cozy wrap for winter.

Mountain Colors in the Foothills

Straight from the Mountains in Montana to the Mountains of the Sierras, Lofty Lou's stocks Mountain Colors yarns, both Barefoot and Crazyfoot. Both are beautiful, soft, strong, and washable fingering weight yarns.
