At long last the first half of our summer shipment of Viola yarns has landed! We have been anxiously anticipating the arrival of these beautiful skeins and we are so glad to be able to share them with you.
Summer may be in full swing but all we want to do is cuddle up for story time with the Baby Bear onesie designed by Cocoknits founder Julie Weisenberger. This adorable knit is the perfect way to welcome a special little one into the world.
We are so excited to have collaborated with our old friend Emma Kylmala of Town Dyer to bring a new bunch of naturally dyed yarns to the shop. A former Loopette who also worked as a shoe dyer for the Royal Ballet, Town Dyer combines Emma’s love of knitting with her love of natural dyes and the results are stunning.
Hello Iroiro! The newest little balls of yarn from Daruma in Japan, iroiro means variety, many ways or different kinds in Japanese. You can use these little balls in all sorts of ways, and we are pretty excited about all the crafting possibilities!
We are so excited to have received the rest of our long-awaited shipment from La Bien Aimée! Sumptuous Merino Singles, delicate Mohair Silk and versatile Merino DK are all filling our shelves and we couldn’t be more pleased.
Molly Martin first learned to mend when an old favourite pair of socks needed darning. Her mother taught her the technique to repair holes in the sewing room at the back of their farmhouse, where there was always a treasure trove of needles, wool, threads and fabric to play with.
The new-to-Loop La Bien Aimeé Merino Sport has made an appearance, and it is gorgeous! For now we’ve received five beautiful hand-dyed colours from Paris but we are expecting lots more in the coming days. The Merino Sport is a soft, three-ply superwash merino with a high twist that absorbs the hand-dyed colour so beautifully.
Here at Loop, we adore Twirl Yarns. Twirl yarn’s philosophy is all about embracing the concept of “Wabi”- the rustic beauty found in imperfection, simplicity and serenity in nature.
You may have heard we are re-opening our shop on the 1st of May, this coming Saturday! We are super excited to welcome you back and have been very busy getting ready for your arrival. We have some more detailed information for you about shopping with us in person at the end of this post. In the meantime, we thought we’d share a little round-up of some lovely new things at Loop to keep us inspired and creating through the next few months and beyond.
Spring has well and truly sprung in London, and we are turning our thoughts to soft and joyous colour and lighter weight fabrics to knit.
