The Origin
why we chose Meadow
Luxurious fibres, fabulous yardage and incredibly versatile
Durable, Soft and eco-friendly
The exceptional breathability and lightweight nature makes Meadow perfect for creating stunning Summer garments and accessories.
The Beginning
Daphne wanted a lace weight yarn in the collection for all the reasons that lace weight yarns are so great: the fabulous yardage, the delicate beauty of fine gauge knitting and the wonderful versatility of light-weight yarns.
The Mill
Our beautiful Meadow yarn only became a possibility when The Fibre Co. founder Daphne began to work with partner mills with machinery capable of working with light weight yarn.
The Palette
Meadow comes in a gorgeous range of 26 shades, and if you look carefully, you will notice the range of shades varies from solid shades to the duotones The Fibre Co. is known for.
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
“This heavy laceweight yarn feels woolly and light, yet has a very slight crispness to the handle. The knitted fabric has a firm yet supple body. The different fibres take the dye in different ways, and so the fabric shows lighter flecks here and there, giving a subtle, semi-solid look.” – The Knitter, Issue 86
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.”
