At Loop we are crazy about haberdashery. We have an amazing selection of embroidery threads and kits. And this week we’d like to share with you some of the most beautiful embroidery and mending threads we stock.

We’ve recently added a new cotton yarn to our collection of plant fibres at Loop and we’re very excited to tell you about it!

We have a new mohair silk blend yarn in store! Gepard are a lovely Danish brand, founded by Sus Gepard in 1989. Their Kid Seta is a great mohair silk that comes in 70 colours, and Loop is stocking all 70!

Last week a box filled with wonderful new Minä Perhonen buttons, brooches and fabric swatch packs arrived at Loop! We are so excited to have more of these amazing pieces at Loop, what an honour! Minä Perhonen’s fabrics are inspired by folktales, whimsy, drawings and a poetic mash-up of Japanese and Nordic aesthetics.

This week we thought we’d focus on two very beautiful shawls that we’ve been admiring at Loop! Cinnabar by Andrea Mowry and Beautiful Day by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne are very different in design but we’re head over heels for them both right now! We have lots of yarn and colour suggestions for Cinnabar, and some great yarn substitution ideas for Beautiful Day too!

We’ve seen some lovely new patterns popping up the past week or so, so we have a round-up of our favourites here, along with yarn suggestions that we have picked out to match the patterns specifically for their affordability.

What an exciting week! We’re so happy to welcome Brooklyn Tweed‘s brand new yarn to Loop! Dapple is a beautiful, squishy blend of 60% Colorado Merino and 40% Texas organic cotton, in a DK weight.

Say hello to Loop’s newest yarn! The wonderful Tôt Le Matin yarn is hand dyed by Lauriane in Normandy, France. The phrase ‘tôt le matin’ translates to ‘early in the morning’, which we just love. We now stock Lauriane’s springy sportweight+ yarn, and this week we’re introducing you to it! We also have some background information on Lauriane and her love of colour.

This week we’re so excited to tell you all about the naturally dyed yarns we stock at Loop! With summer upon us, we’re so looking forward to knitting up all these gorgeous colours into bright garments and shawls, or embroidering little motifs onto bags, jumpers and socks. We are also running a wonderful giveaway this week, so be sure to read to the end to find out what you can win and how to enter!
