Loop will be open from 11-6 on Wednesday, December 29th and Thursday December 30th. We will reopen in the New Year on January 4th. Online orders may be delayed, as we will only be filling them on the days the shop is open, and the post is closed for much of the holidays.
I have finally completed the pattern for the Old Rose Wrap. I’m sorry it has taken me so long! Yes, there were technical difficulties. I was hoping to be able to accompany the pattern with symbol craft charts, however I don’t have the programme to write them on my computer and it was proving very complicated to do it by hand. Enjoy the pattern and please let me know if you find any errors or need clarification. ~Juju at Loop
Today’s wishlist belongs to Meghan; frequent Loop model, book lover and romantic knitter: Sophie Digard necklace Juno Sock in potpourri, to make the divine, Damask. (She’d happily have every colour of Juno Sock, if Santa were feeling extraordinarily generous!) Old Maiden Aunt in Gothic and Strange Rock n’ Rollers to make the Crow Waltz Shawl. Prairie by Madelinetosh in Isadora to make the Featherweight cardigan.
Continuing with our staff wishlists for Santa, Rebecca, who likes to bake, read, and dream of a farm filled with animals, wishes for: 6 skeins of Malabrigo Worsted Weight in Forest to make… The Old Mill Hoodie by Cecily Glowik MacDonald. (What a good idea! I think I might add this pattern to my Christmas wishlist too.) 2 skeins of Malabrigo Lace in (Loop favourite) Frank Ochre to make Miss Lambert’s shawl from Victorian Lace Today by Jane Sowersby. Rebecca, like many of us, loves the Hikaru Noguchi shawls and has asked Santa for a Snowflake and Stripe one in …
Our next Christmas wishlist is compiled by Rachel, resident test knitter and Wollmeise junkie: More Wollmeise! Rachel doesn’t believe in too much of a good thing! She would like to make Chadwick from Stephen West’s new book with some of her lovely Wollmeise collection. Natalie Lete Silk Scarf. She also loves the Natalie Lete Cat brooch. Surely that wouldn’t take up too much room in her stocking, would it Santa? Stag Horn Button in Olive. (See the next post for a handy to turn this into a brooch. Haapsula Shawl book. (This is such a popular wishlist book!) Twelve skeins …
It’s snowing here today, and the Christmas lights have been switched on in Camden Passage. This puts us in mind to start compiling our letters to Santa. We’ve all been good girls, at Loop, and we have very specific knitting desires that we thought we would share with you. We also share them with our friends and family via the Amazon Universal Wish List button.
We still have lots of Wollmeise left. Call the shop anytime, to order your own gorgeous skein (or two). This beautiful owl is one of the many lovely things we have in shop from Natalie Lete.

Many of you will have heard about Wollmeise coming to Loop! We are ecstatic about the news. Our first delivery will hit the shelves on Saturday, November 6th. Unfortunately, we can’t make this available online, since Wollmeise in known to crash servers. However, we will take phone orders for it on Monday, November 9th between 11 and 4. We will not take any phone orders over the weekend! I will post availability on the blog on Sunday, so that you know what is left.
Sometimes fashion likes to shout loud! (Okay, all of the time.) This winter it’s yelling about big, bulky knits, Yeti feet and hooded heads. We hear ya, we hear ya! We, at Loop, have taken up our giant needles to make this bulky cowl that you can wear many ways. There are no buttonholes (easy peasy), but the five horn toggles make it possible to button the cowl any way you want; up the front, round the side, or over the shoulder. Wear it as a cape, a shawl, a cowl or a hood. Warm, versatile, quick, easy and fashionable! …
