We’re so excited about all the wonderful new patterns that use Mrs Moon yarn! A favourite at Loop, the different bases from Mrs Moon are all super soft and wonderful to work with and the bright, beautiful colour palette always makes us happy. We have the Plump, the Pudding, and an amazing kit that includes Plump DK.
This week we are longing for the springtime; London is feeling chilly and grey. So, how lucky we are to have brand new Sophie Digard items in gorgeous happy colours to cheer us up! We have lots of different scarves, with new designs and a new colour palette. The new palette is called ‘Pschitt’, after a French soda first sold in the 1950’s.
Last week, we introduced you to our newest product, Genmou yarns and patterns, which were a collaboration between Daruma spinners and Amirisu. We have also shown the beautiful Buaisou Indigo threads that we carry, which are spun by Daruma as well. We thought you might like to see some behind the scenes shots of this interesting, old, Japanese company.
Summer is blooming in London, and with it, our beautiful handmade Sophie Digard brooches are arriving too. These sell like hot cakes, because they look so pretty on a shawl. They would also be great for dressing up a plain canvas tote bag or summer coat. They’re handmade from velvet, linen and raffia with crochet and small bits of embroidery.
Like spring flowers these beautiful Sophie Digard necklaces are blooming all round the shop! Plus in this post we have some colour inspiration to get you ready for our Piccadilly Shawl Knit Along this summer!
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.
