Loragub (sea foam): delightfully soft and squishy, this angora and merino wool yarn is relatively evenly spun and plyed.

Personally, I would simply keep this yarn on my desk and squeeze it every once in a while when I needed some tactile rejuvenation.

Collection inspiration

This yarn is from my collection Of a Hoswick sea. A Hoswick Sea is many things. It’s affected by the weather, the light, the season and of course our own mood. The tidal movement is comfortingly constant, the sea breathes life into our village. It dominates our senses especially when it is wild. The Hoswick Sea is our rock, especially in these difficult and uncertain times.

Always drawn to dying with indigo vats—I now see that I made subconscious connections between the myriad of colours which emerge from the pigment and the sea. This is my attempt to pay homage to it by honouring its ever-changing shades of blue.
