Skein Queen ~ Tweedore
Loop is delighted to introduce our stunning new yarn from Skein Queen ~ Tweedore!
Tweedore is rustic-looking, but soft, with a lovely sheen and blackish neps. It’s a 4-ply, sock-weight base made from 85% superwash Bluefaced Leicester & 15% Donegal neps. We’re the only retailer to carry this gorgeous base yarn from Skein Queen and we have two exclusive colours: Rosebery and Angel!
Tweedore is a perfect choice for garments, gloves, hats, scarves or shawls. The BFL is hard wearing with a beautiful lustre.
We think Floozy by Libby Jonson would look great in Tweedore.
The stranded pattern colours could be done in Tweedore or a solid fingering 4-ply such as Koigu Premium Merino or Uncommon Thread Tough Sock, which is also a superwash BFL.
We’ve knit a Jaycee by Isabelle Kraemer in Drunk Bees! The golden colour is a semi-solid with the black neps throughout.
Most of the neps are either black or a pale natural colour, depending on which gives the highest contrast with the base colour. You can see the full 20 colour palette below.
Prize Giveaway
We’re giving away two skeins of Tweedore to celebrate its arrival at Loop! We’ll give away one skein of Roseberry to a winner on our blog and one skein of Angel to a winner on our Instagram.

Absolutely gorgeous yarn.
Love the neps and colours in the collection would love to win some yarn!
I love tweeds, the sheen looks great. Would love to try your beautiful yarn.
Just bought a skein of Bucklebury, though I had the intention nevermore to buy yarn, because my stash is bigger than I ever can knit, even if I where an octopus.
These colours are gorgeous!
I would love to win this yarn. I’m currently recovering from an ankle operation and have not had a change to buy yarn for months. I’m getting some serious withdrawal symptoms!
Such beautiful additions to the many wonderful Yarns at Loop. I’m a big fan of Debbie’s Yarns. Thank you for bringing some to Loop. X
Oh my what beautiful new yarn. I’m currently doing a Floozy and this will be perfect for a second one xx
Lovely range of colours – hard to pick a favourite.
Ooh, I just want to squish a skein! Such vibrant colours, hard to choose a favourite…but I think Roseberry :)
Beautiful natural colours. Perfect for some cozy winter garments. Love them all!
Looks lovely
Love this, especially the custom colours together!
Another beautiful collection at Loop. Roseberry conjures up images of roses and raspberries, what a gorgeous combination. Well done Loop, another winner!!
What lovely yarn. I love a good tweed. ❤️
Yet another fabulous yarn from Skein Queen, so many fantastic colours to choose from! I’m loving the Loop exclusive colours.
what gorgeous colourways…so much to choose from x
Just when I think there can’t be any more gorgeous yarns to add to my stash…. Lovely yarn
What a lovely modern tweed! The loop colohrs are great and also love drunk bees!
This yarn looks wonderful. I have long wanted to knit with tweed-y yarn but was neither convinced by the colours available nor the feeling of the garment (too scratchy???). This new will looks amazing and Roseberry looks like a lovely shade to try.
Looks like another lovely yarn, beautiful colours that I am sure would be fabulous to knit with.
I have never knit with a tweed style yarn, now would be a good time to start!!
Am loving the Jaycee cardigan. The bit of texture at the yoke adds interest letting the yarn be the main attraction!
What an exciting new yarn. Beautiful and I expect hardwearing and soft at the same time. I would love to win a skein.
Wow those colours are gorgeous!!
Beautiful yarn! Would love to win a skein! Tweed style yarn is my favourite
Absolutely lovely! I adore so many colorways and this yarn is a must for my autumn wardrobe.

The colours look like Autumn and in a perfect yarn for Autumn, what’s not to likex
I’m longing to visit your shop in London and gaze upon the loveliness of the Roseberry Tweedoor. Guess I’ll have to fly on over!! ♥️
YES PLEASE! so gorgeous!
What wonderful colours. Every one is a winner. I’d love to win a skein of this beautiful yarn.
Lovely colours just starting on my first neck down top so would be nice to have a go at the jacee in the raspberry, I think.
Fantastic yarn
Beautiful looking yarn!
The yarn is gorgeous! How I wish I lived or was visiting London at the moment to see all the colors in person!
Beautiful colours and beautiful wool and I love the flecks too!
That is absolutely gorgeous yarn – if I win I’ll pick it up myself when I visit your store in October :-). Will be in London for 2 days and you’re first on my list to visit as soon as I arrive – looking forward to exploring your store.

Gorgeous! I’d love to try it out!
What a great twist on tweed! The colors are gorgeous. I keep envisioning Ink Pen in a Japanese inspired pattern. A skein of Roseberry would make a perfect pair of new fall socks from one of my favorite Nancy Bush patterns.
I discovered Rosebery Avenue this Summer – full of so much history and interest.
A beautiful color of tweed.

I love this new yarn. Tweedore is also a very good name for it and would very much enjoy knitting something with it.

Tweedore looks fantastic. I am just completing my Jaycee cardi, but yours knit up in Drunk Bees is to die for. Love the yarn! Thanks for including everyone in the give-away!
You carry the most beautiful yarns. I’m happy for the internet that allows me to purchase yarns from any country in the world. It’s definitely widened the variety in my stash. I love the color Angel but quite frankly, they’re all lovely. Love the neps in the yarn.

Such a lovely yarn. It looks autumnal.
I’ve never regretted any yarn purchased from Loop. You manage to select yarns with beautiful colors, wonderful hand, and extraordinary excitement! Although I would love to win, when I come to London again next month, I know I will buy some of it anyway. Loop is, without a doubt, my favorite yarn store — including both sides of the Atlantic!
Beautiful yarn , I’ve just finished knitting a scarf in Koigu yarn from you and can’t wait to start something new :) Good luck everyone . Xxx
