Spring is in the air, and with summer just around the corner, our thoughts are turning to lightweight knits, perfect for Spring and Summer. Loop has been the proud stockist of mYak yarns for several years, and we want to showcase this gorgeous yarn this week. mYak’s fibres are ethically sourced directly from Tibetan herders, and are collected by hand combing the undercoats of baby yaks and cashmere goats.
We have a brand new yarn! Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co. was debuted at Loop during Edinburgh Yarn Festival, and we now have it in our London store as well as online. We have two different yarns from Woolly Mammoth, and we’re so happy to welcome them to the selection of wonderful naturally dyed yarns we already have in stock at Loop. We are also running a giveaway this week, with a beautiful bundle of Woolly Mammoth Natural Sock minis up for grabs! Keep on reading to find out more.
It’s already that time of year! Edinburgh Yarn Festival is just a few weeks away and we have been working very hard at Loop to plan and pack up the amazing selection of yarns and haberdashery that we will have with us this year. This week we’re going to give you a little sneak peek of all the goodies that will be on Loop’s stand this year.
A few days ago, we received a very exciting delivery from Mondo Fil in Kyoto, Japan. We have added to the yarns we stock from Mondo Fil, and we are so excited to tell you about the newest editions. Mondo Fil yarns are always so interesting and unique, and are so inspiring when new deliveries arrive. The boxes are always filled with playful happy colours!
Brrr! Temperatures have dropped considerably here in London, so we have snuggly knits on our minds at Loop this week. Our new favourite yarn is just perfect for keeping us warm and safe – CaMaRose Lama-tweed, from Denmark.
Wow! We are so honoured and excited to welcome a new yarn to Loop, Harrisville Designs’ Nightshades. This is a moody and wonderful DK weight yarn, which is an American Cormo and Wool blend, with an airy 3-ply spin. This yarn is grown in Montana, scoured in Texas, dyed in Philadelphia, and spun in New Hampshire (where some of Brooklyn Tweed’s original yarns are also spun). Loop is very proud to be the exclusive UK stockist of this wonderful and very unique yarn.
