Wow! We are so excited to welcome the newest mYak yarn to Loop! All of mYak’s yarns are exceptionally soft, with beautiful stories behind them. This week we’re sharing the story behind Tibetan Cloud, which launched a few days ago!

A wonderful new yarn has arrived at Loop for the Autumn. The Border Mill North Coast Tweed is a beautiful 100% Shetland Wool in a true 4ply weight. Best of all, there are 40 colours to choose from! We’re very excited to show this to you this week.

We’ve been having a last blast of wonderful weather, so we wanted to give a last hurrah to some gorgeous summer shawls, knitted in lovely plant-based yarns!

Wonderful colours for Autumn!

We also have plenty of pattern suggestions for fantastic ‘basics’, so keep reading to find out about those!

Wow! We are so thrilled to have received this amazing new yarn from La Bien Aimée! Kumo is their newest, and softest and squishiest, base.

We are giving away two skeins, one each to two different people, this week so read on to find out more!
