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.

Here at Loop our winter window is sparkling and the Christmas music is playing — the holiday season is upon us! This week is the beginning of our seasonal roundups, and today we’ve put together some ideas for luxurious gift-giving, from ready-to-make kits and indulgent yarn to handcrafted gems made by skilled artisans. So without further adieu, let’s get started!
