It’s nearly time for the new issue of Laine! We always anticipate these releases with bated breath, and we’re especially excited for this issue as we’re seriously in the mood to plan our autumn knits.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever stitched with? Maybe you’ve explored different fibres, played with old and new materials, or picked some wacky colours, but we’ll be you’ve never pushed the limits as far as Katerina Knight!

We love every kind of stitching. If it uses a hook or a needle, it’s for us. But every once in a while, one type of stitching just totally captures our imagination, and right now it’s crochet!

There is truly nothing like old friends. The ones you can depend on. The ones you grow to admire more and more with each passing year. We’re lucky to have made so many friends at Loop, and this week we’re celebrating two who have been with us right from the start. A new collection by Julie Arkell and two upcoming classes with Hikaru Noguchi are bringing our dear ones close!

When was the last time you found a new favourite? Whether it’s stumbling on a hidden bakery no one seems to know about or following a tip from a friend to see a new favourite view of your city, that little thrill you get when you first find something you just know is going to become a huge part of your life is like gold dust.

Last week we shared the exciting news that Aitor Saraiba and Tomomi Mimura (aka Mimstermade) will join us in the shop for a week-long residency. This week we’re thrilled to announce the details of the incredible workshops they’ll host while they’re here!

We have some true beauties in the shop this week! Old favourites and new treasures are coming together to get us excited for our next projects — plus, our very special visit from Celia Pym this weekend promises to be hugely inspiring.
