We wanted to share this incredibly insightful and joyful discussion, hosted by Squam this past July, that centred around issues of non-inclusion and racism that are ingrained in the maker community. We watched the panel discussion and were very moved by it and therefore felt it was important to share with our audience. It has also made us consider ways in which we can build more connections in the knitting community.
We’ve been having a last blast of wonderful weather, so we wanted to give a last hurrah to some gorgeous summer shawls, knitted in lovely plant-based yarns!
With Autumn around the corner (it already feels like Autumn here in London!), we’re bringing you a little round up of some yarns at a good price point for your new Autumn/Winter sweaters and cardigans. Buying enough yarn for a garment can often feel pricey, so we’ve put together this list with some great yarns, all natural fibres, that are well priced and loved by us at Loop! We also have plenty of pattern suggestions for fantastic ‘basics’, so keep reading to find out about those!
