A classic DK weight yarn, Luma is inspired by the mood and light found in sun-bathed savannas.
The Yarn
Made with love, in Peru
A lofty blend of organic cotton, linen, Merino wool and silk.
The plant-based fibres of organic cotton and linen are mixed with silk and fine Merino wool to provide warmth when it is cool, yet be light enough for warmer climates, a perfect yarn to create layering pieces of a handmade wardrobe.
The Origin
why we chose Luma
Adding threads of sunlight to Your Knitting
Adding threads of sunlight to Your Knitting
The combination of fibres in Luma creates a unique blend that makes it a great yarn for all-year-round knits, but it also creates a unique base for dyes.
The Beginning
Like so many of The Fibre Co. yarns, Luma had an ancestor in the very first yarns Daphne created. At the mini-mill in Maine, in the early days of The Fibre Co., Daphne experimented with carding different fibres together just to see what would happen.
The Mill
Some years and many tries later, Daphne found a mill that could spin a similar blend of fibres to Savannah with some differences; soy was replaced with natural silk, and the brown cotton was replaced with Peruvian organic Pima cotton.
The Palette
Each fibre in Luma takes dye a different way, and this results in subtle tones playing in each hank. A wide range of shades has been achieved, from deeply saturated to subtlety muted shades.

A Review From The Knitter
“Full of light and life, Luma is a glowing blend of wool, cotton, linen and silk, which provides warmth yet is light enough for summery days. It knits up into a fabric with excellent drape and well defined stitches.
The expanded colour range includes this vibrant jewel-like shade, and there are plenty of elegant neutrals and softer hues to fall in love with.” – The Knitter, Issue 189
A stockist story from Spun
"I'm a sucker for color, and when my eyes landed on Arranmore Light, I couldn't turn away!"
Spun staff member Kate just finished knitting her Mariechen (designed by Isabell Kraemer) out of Arranmore Light. After an initial color quandary, she thoroughly enjoyed the project:
“My difficulty was picking which color to use: The subtle flecks in Riveresque that create a light blue with depth? The rich saturation in Meera that made me want to dive in? Finally I settled on the vivid melange of orange and pink that Orla provided, and the color kept me happy the whole time I was knitting my cardigan.”
And Spun’s Amanda just launched into her Cadadh (designed by Kate Davies), opting for the beautiful neutral Tallach so that her piece would have broad appeal:
“I am loving it! Arranmore Light is the perfect balance of rustic and luxury.”
“I love that the cashmere and silk add a softness to the yarn without distracting from the wooly core. It’s sturdy without being stiff, and it’s gentle on my hands, thanks to the stretch in the wool. I look forward to wrapping myself in this cozy shawl on a chilly day.”
