Inspired by the botanical richness of Japan, the ancient art of temari and our favourite neighbourhoods in London, Rika Stein has created three beautiful sets of naturally dyed cotton threads for Loop through her new venture, NONA. We’ve been in love with Rika’s work since her days at Temaricious and we’re over the moon to have these unique threads in the shop.
As well as bringing you the most exquisite knitting and crochet goodies, we’ve been slowly curating beautiful supplies of a craft we also love – embroidery. Perfect for adding a pretty embellishment to a finished knit or as a beautiful detail on it’s own. You’ll now find tools and threads at Loop, plus a range of books to get you inspired. Remember that we are closed Easter Sunday 27th March, but open as normal on Good Friday and Saturday 26th.
The Christmas season is in full frenzy now, with just under two weeks until the biggest gift giving day of the year. It can be easy to be swept away in it all, but two new arrivals at Loop have the power to make us pause and meditate on the small, special things in life. Often at this time of year, knitters and crocheters can think of nothing but the chunkiest of wools for whipping up quick projects (more on that next week!), but it turns out that the perfect gift you’ve been looking for might be the one made …
