Loop is so excited for the launch of our first knit along – this weekend we’ll be casting on the gorgeous Sous Sous! Many of you have been contemplating colours and gossiping about gauge on our Ravelry forum, so we thought we’d update you with all the information and our top tips.
Inspiring knits and beautiful photography, yet again we are falling for the latest pattern books! Two esteemed designers, Gudrun Johnston and Kate Davies offer us their newest designs in The Shetland Trader Book Two and Yokes.
We’ve been completely spoilt for choice with so many beautiful books arriving to inspire us for the new year. Currently the Loopettes are swooning over the elegant stitch pattern extravaganza of Madder Anthology One and the cosy simplicity of Quince & Co.’s first printed book Home. Both take advantage of the amazing selection of Quince & Co. yarn that Loop stocks so we thought we’d introduce you to some of our favourites! First to Home, a book dedicated to knits that make a space all the more comfortable and familiar. Designer Pam Allen, owner of Quince & Co. described how initially the …
Happy 2015! We hope you’ve all had wonderful holiday and are ready to kick start your wooly based resolutions into action! We have new workshops with inspirational designers, lessons in the basics of crochet and knitting (because this is the year you’re going to master those new techniques) and an exciting knit along for our gorgeous pattern Sous Sous! First, a little more about our Sous Sous knit along. This swingy textured jumper designed for Loop by cable queen Norah Gaughan was released late last year – and we’ve been in love with it ever since. To celebrate this special collaboration we will …
We can’t wait for the new year to bring you more yarn-y delights and exciting patterns. Warm wishes and all the best for a Happy 2015! Loop xxx
A perfectly sized mini treat for you to end the year with! Arriving just this week are the delightful mini skein sets from Pigeonroof Studios – ideal for last minute small projects and to fill that final gap in your stocking! Six gorgeous skeins are included in each set, changing over a beautiful gradient of one colour. These adorably tiny skeins are made from Pigeonroof Studios High Twist sock, a glossy, soft, superwash merino. This 4ply yarn is perfectly paired with the Madelinetosh Sock as above, but we can also imagine it being best friends with The Uncommon Thread Tough Sock and Quince & Co. Finch.
Gift giving and enjoying chunky knitwear – two things that both give you a warm glowing feeling in two different ways! We know there is nothing better than the magic of gifting a beautiful hand knit, but we also know that the countdown to Christmas is somewhat snowballing! So to solve your quandaries over last minute gifts we have a new free pattern – the fabulous chunky crochet cowl Eternally by Rachel Atkinson. Plus, as we’re feeling extra generous and imbued with Christmas spirt we are having a flash sale this weekend with 15% off twelve of our Chunky yarns (please check the …
