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.

Is there a spring in your step? Here in London we’re starting to notice the longer days (more knitting time, right?) and the blossom on the trees starting to bloom. With Easter weekend just round the corner the blog has a distinctly spring like feel. Remember that we are closed Easter Sunday 27th March, but open as normal on Good Friday and Saturday 26th.

Introducing Teazel, the latest fabulous addition to our ever growing collection of Loop patterns. Pretty pops of lace curve round the swingy silhouette of this gorgeous cardigan designed for us by the talented Bristol Ivy.   Bristol’s patterns draw on her interest in tailoring, focusing on structured lines and flattering shapes and Teazel is no exception. With the eyelet details swooping down to a soft flared shape, the cardigan shows the subtly hand dyed variation of Shalimar Breathless Cush (shown here in the colour Foggy Bottom). Want to know more? Well, who better to tell us about the design than Bristol herself!
