With just three weeks left until the much anticipated Edinburgh Yarn Festival on March 10th and 11th, our excitement – not to mention the planning and the packing – is well underway. You might want to keep a pen at the ready as you scroll on down; here’s what Loop is bringing to Edinburgh!

A message from Susan: Last Sunday morning I decided to donate all profits from our London and online shop to the ACLU (the American Civil Liberties Union), an amazing organisation.

Whimsical, thoughtful and charming, Julie Arkell’s work gives us a moment to reflect on the magic of making. After the success of her exhibition ‘Away’ at Ruthin Craft Centre last year, we’ve just had whole flock of Julie’s creatures come to visit. Carefully handmade from papier mâché with homely knitted outfits and embroidered details, each has their own personality and story.
