What a fantastic time we had last weekend at our NONA & Cohana Pop-Up! It was yet another inspiring weekend of craft at Loop and we’re so glad that so many of you could make it. But no need to feel like you’ve missed out if you weren’t able to stop by — we saved some treats for you!
We’re still basking in the glow of our incredible week with Nami Horikawa, Tomomi Mimura, and Naho Izumi, three incredible Japanese makers who shared their time and talents with some of you lovely Loop fans in a series of workshops and classes last week.
If there’s one thing that’s great about a yarn shop it’s the ability to bring together wonderfully creative people from all over the world to share their love of craft. At Loop we love to bring the best the world has to offer to our little corner of London, and it’s always a treat to scout out new finds.
Fans of lore and tradition and Anne Kelly take note: one of our favourite artists and crafters is coming to Loop with a totally unique class and kit designed just for us.
Oh what a treat we have this week: Julie Arkell and her magical creatures are heading to Loop for three workshops in 2023!
It is such an exciting time here at Loop. The year is off to a fantastic start and we are looking forward to visits from some of our favourite creators in the coming months. Plus, with new shipments of incredible wool and some other goodies it’s a hive of activity around here!
There’s nothing quite like a chunky yarn. Tactile even before it’s knit or crocheted, and only improving once on the needles or the hook, chunky yarn is one of life’s true pleasures. And Zakami Merino Chunky has to be one of the best out there.
Florence Spurling’s Scout Shawl has been a favourite at Loop for years, and we were so happy to introduce Scout’s little sister, Scout Mini Neckerchief in December.
Non-crafters may think we’ve lost it, but we know our community of makers will understand what we mean when we say socks are absolutely the best gift you could receive — at Christmas or any other time of year. And so we are so happy to be able to give that gift to our our lovely, loyal Loop lovers this year in the form of a wonderful pattern by beloved former Loopette Emma Brace!
We’re all aswoon for Dashing, a brand new collection from Qing Fibres! Silky merino that takes to colour like a fish to water. Where do we sign up?
