One of the things we love most about this community is how much it loves to give back. By its very nature crafting brings us into contact with the physical world around us. The fact that we get to use our craft to improve the physical realities of people everywhere is just beautiful.
Blustery skies, ever-earlier sunsets, and rust hues on the trees. This time of year calls for drawing in, tending the home fires, and creating cosiness to keep out the cool days ahead. This week, we have a stellar collection of beautiful things to help you do just that!
September is a month that is always full of new beginnings, but it also feels tinged with tradition. This week, we’re focusing on a pattern does a stellar job of balancing the two, putting a modern spin on a Shetland knitting tradition.
The winter chill may be with us for a while yet, but we have so many wonderful things arriving in the shop we don’t even mind!
Late winter always needs a little sparkle, and these low temperatures have us craving all things warm and cosy. Loop’s latest design delivers on both counts!
It’s home time! Our collection of Sophie Home has arrived, just in time for cosy nights in and rainy days with the curtains drawn.
As the days are getting colder and quiet evenings are spent at home, there is nothing quite like the comfort, both literally and figuratively of a handmade crocheted or knitted blanket.
During these strange in-between days spending time at home, rather than at the shop, the Loopettes have been finding sources of comfort from many different places. This week we’re sharing some of those things – lots of us have been knitting, but we’re also stitching, cooking, gardening and reading to keep our minds occupied and our hands busy.
We thought that this week we would share some of the great things we’ve been seeing popping up online during these difficult times. We hope that, while our London and online shops are closed, you’ll be able to continue your creativity and find some wonderful things to occupy your time. Not limited to just craft but also cooking, cinema and theatre; some of our favourites are below!
