This weekend is the one we’ve all been waiting for, when we’ll come together and celebrate Loop’s 20th anniversary! The shop is looking extra spiffy thanks to a window makeover by Julie Arkell and we have some very special treats to share with you.

This summer we’re marking our 20th anniversary! We’re honestly misty-eyed when we think about how far we’ve come and what we’ve all created together in that time, from precious memories to stunning stitches. To celebrate, we’re bringing you a series of specials, spotlighting some of our dearest friends and favourite artists with a gobsmacking collection of new treasures.

Gorgeous yarns? Curated kits? Haberdashery bits? Communal knits? What’s your ultimate indulgence when it comes to crafty joy? We love them all in equal measure, of course, and this week we’ve got something for everyone.

There have been hints of the festive season for weeks now, but this is the weekend it truly arrives. Neighbourhood light switch-ons, Thanksgiving travel for our American friends, and a winter chill in the air can only mean one thing: the holidays are here!

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.
