Do you remember your very first skein of yarn? Your first knitting needles or crochet hook? How it felt to pick your very first crafting materials, and the journey that unraveled from that single choice? The warmth of that memory stays with many of us through decades of crafting. The single skein that sparked it all.
We love every kind of stitching. If it uses a hook or a needle, it’s for us. But every once in a while, one type of stitching just totally captures our imagination, and right now it’s crochet!
Oh my goodness we’ve had so many wonderful things arrive this week! From old favourites to brand-new treasures, our shelves are overflowing!
There’s little we love as much as a shawl. These versitile, all-season garments are a joy to wear, and the rhythm of making them is always entrancing. So when a yarn is designed especially for making shawls, there’s a good chance we’re going to adore it.
It’s almost time to welcome Aitor Saraiba and Tomomi Mimura! These fabulous artists are coming to Loop for a whole week of textile joy, and we can’t wait for all the beauty they’ll bring!
There is truly nothing like old friends. The ones you can depend on. The ones you grow to admire more and more with each passing year. We’re lucky to have made so many friends at Loop, and this week we’re celebrating two who have been with us right from the start. A new collection by Julie Arkell and two upcoming classes with Hikaru Noguchi are bringing our dear ones close!
Gepard’s Cashmere Klassik may be making its Loop debut this week, but this yarn is no diamond in the rough. Honed over 20 years, it’s lightweight, it glides easily, and it’s perfect for sensitive skin — both in the knitting and the wearing!
We’re overjoyed to welcome two delightful new yarns from Biches & Bûches this week. The carefully curated bases from this brilliant brand never disapoint — Le Petit Organic Cotton and Le Lambswool are no exception!
Spring is in the air and everywhere you go there are cherry blossoms galore! This time of year is so special, especially in Japan, and this year our friends at Cohana are celebrating with some truly unparalelled haberdashery.
More beauty from Mondo Fil! There is truly no limit to the totally imaginative inventions of this yarn company, and we absolutely adore it.
