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.
