Giving Back with Bundles of Love

As we launched all our 20th anniversary specials over the summer, we made sure to hold one of everything back for a special occasion, so we could spread all the love, luck, and joy of the past 20 years. Now, we’re so excited to share these with you in the form of seven gorgeous prize bundles!

Sharing beauty with you all and giving back to our wider community are core elements of who we are at Loop, so naturally we couldn’t wait to use the opportunity of our 20th anniversary to do both. As we partnered with so many brilliant artists all over the world to design our exclusive 20th anniversary collection, we were also dreaming up a way to make these incredible products do good for the world. We’ve curated seven unique prize bundles to give away, featuring sold-out beauties from our 20th anniversary, which we’ll give to seven lucky winners through our Charity Prize Giveaway!

All the proceeds from this giveaway will go to two really wonderful causes, The Trussel Trust, which supports UK food banks, and MAP (Medical Aid for Palestinians). Loop will also match the total amount raised, doubling the impact! Each entry is £10, and you can enter as many times as you like. We’re so grateful to have the opportunity to turn craft and community into compassion and action together. These bundles are totally dreamy. Hand-dyed yarns, limited-edition kits you can’t get anywhere else, and a dusting of Loop magic to bring it all together! From early Loop icons like Syd the Rabbit to exclusive kits by Aitor Saraiba, these bundles celebrate every nook and cranny of Loop’s two-decade history!

When you enter, feel free to add a note indicating which bundle is your favourite. The winners will be selected at random and we will do our best to give people their bundle of choice. Entries are open from now until midnight (GMT) on Friday 7 November. We will randomly draw seven winners on Sunday 9 November and contact them by email. We welcome participation from all over the world, and we’ll cover the postage to wherever you are!

If you’re in London this weekend, don’t forget to come to the shop for our Sample Sale for Charity! This is a great opportunity to take home one of our coveted shop samples and support good causes at the same time. Proceeds from the sale will be split 50/50 between The Trussell Trust and MAP, just like the proceeds from the Charity Prize Giveaway. We’ll also match the funds raised through the sale. As a reminder, our weekend hours are Saturday 11:30 am to 5:30 pm and Sunday 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm. The sample sale will be going on this whole weekend — or until we sell out! Together we can have a huge impact.

Claire Montgomerie at Loop!

Claire Montgomerie took the world of crochet by storm with her stunningly successful Granny Square Card Deck and Granny Square Flowers Card Deck. Now she’s at it again with The Granny Square Stitches Card Deck — and she’s bringing a super special preview to Loop! The latest addition to Claire’s card deck series will launch on 11 November, but she’ll be at Loop next weekend, on Saturday 1 November, for an early celebration! Join us in the shop from 4 to 5 pm for a Meet + Greet where Claire will sign copies of the new card deck and be around for a chat. This event is free and open to all — no need to book. We can’t wait to see you there!

Beginner Knitting Class in November

Join us in November to learn how to knit! We’re hosting another of our popular Beginner Knitting Class series taught by our very own Rhona Mackillop. Over the course of two Sundays you’ll learn all the basics you need to know to start your knitting journey. Whether you’ve never held a pair of needles before or you’re a bit rusty on the basics after years away from the craft, we’ll help you get up to speed! This series will be held on Sunday 16 and Sunday the 23 November from 1-4pm.

Happy stitching!
