Making Magazine Issue 10 Intricate is launching today! We’ve all been waiting to see what’s in store for us in this beautiful issue. This week we focus on several projects in the magazine to keep us inspired and making.

Our super popular Tiny Tassels Shawl kit is back with the luxurious hand-dyed yarns of La Bien Aimée Atelier in Paris.  We have three wonderful new colour combinations for you in the super soft and luxurious cashmerino base. Sanho, a beautiful and bright turquoise with flecks of rust. Loam, an earthy and lush combination with Bois de Rose for the tassels and Ichigo, a soft coral with hints of vivid pink and bright yellow Buzz for the tassels.

Loop is turning 15! Starting from Thursday the 1st of October and through the coming weeks, we are kicking off a month of all sorts of lovely projects and wonderful things for you to join us in celebrating our 15th anniversary. We are starting with the revival of a specially dyed colour from Spincycle Yarns called Venus in Furs.

We’ve recently added a new cotton yarn to our collection of plant fibres at Loop and we’re very excited to tell you about it!

It is produced with respect and consideration for the environment, people, and animals.

A new kit has arrived at Loop! Torhild’s Colours is a wonderful new pattern from Isager, and we have four different kits available. We’ll be talking about the kit this week, and showing you all the great variations we have.

This week we’re taking a look at some of our fantastic new kits that launched last week, as well as some new treasures that are in the shop now. Some of our kits are available to pre-order rather than purchase straight away; they were so popular they sold out over last weekend, but they will be replenished very soon!

We’re bringing you a short post this week, to tell you about a new kit we now have at Loop. The Harlequin Blanket Kit is brand new from CaMaRose, and we are so pleased to have it at the shop! CaMaRose is a favourite brand of many members of staff at Loop; the Danish brand is a lovely supplier of wonderful wools at very reasonable prices. They have a big colour palette with lots of beautiful shades. We stock the Yaku, Hverdagsuld and Lama-tweed, and the Snefnug, which has just arrived!

Mabel's Sister looks fantastic in this moodier colour palette

We are excited to announce that new kits for Mabel’s Sister are now available! Our newest kit uses Eden Cottage Bowland DK. This is a favourite yarn at Loop, so it was our first choice for another version of Mabel’s Sister. This special yarn is hand dyed in England and is 100% Blue Faced Leicester. It has a wonderful lustre, and is wonderfully soft and squishy once knitted.

Happy EYF weekend everyone, and say hello to Mabel’s Sister! This week we are launching the newest pattern at Loop, Mabel’s Sister, at Edinburgh Yarn Festival. We also have the printed pattern in our London shop, and online. This gorgeous cardigan has been designed by Fiona Alice, a former Loopette, especially for us. Fiona also designed our Mabel Cardigan, a sweet little baby cardigan. With the release of Mabel’s Sister, you’ll be able to match with your little ones!
