Our Spincycle Custom Colourway
Introducing... our Spincycle custom colourway Miss Rumphius
This may be the most exciting thing that has happened!
We are absolutely CHUFFED that one of our favourite yarn companies – Spincycle Yarns, created a beautiful custom colourway just for us. Yup, you can't even get it from Spincycle directly! Only from Loopine.
We worked together with the Spincycle team to design this colourway with all the gorgeous plummy purples, golds, and even some black tones mixed in. She's moody, regal, and absolutely perfect. Her name is Miss Rumphius.
It is officially available in-store + online (we ship worldwide!) in Dyed in the Wool, Dream State and Plump range.
Miss Rumphius
You may or may not be familiar with Miss Rumphius. Written and illustrated by Barbara Cooney, this picture book tells the life story of Miss Alice Rumphius, The Lupine (Loopine) lady who made the world more beautiful by planting lupines.
Our Miss Rumphius Colourway perfectly combines the purple and pinks of the lupine flowers with Miss Rumphius' heart of gold :)
Skein Variation
For those of you familiar with Spincycle's magic, you'll know that no two skeins are identical. The fibre is hand dyed before being mill-spun and the plied together, creating a "marled gradient" effect.
The magic of this yarn is watching it unfold before your eyes as you knit!
If you place an order online, feel free to leave a note requesting "more purple", "more gold", "darker", "more marled", etc. and we'll do our best to select the perfect skeins for you!
Project Inspiration
Here are some photos of some of the beautiful projects we've seen and knit up ourselves in Miss Rumphius so far.

PS: I thought I'd share these few photos from when I got to visit their factory/mill a few years ago!! So amazing to see how this special yarn is made :)

Love,
