Haberdashery Heaven
What’s knitting without all the tools and accessories? Useful and beautiful, we have a whole range of new items that are arriving in the shop now and in the next few weeks.
For scissors we have the elegant style of the Copper or Bonsai, a classic look with Brass or Rooster and the absolute cuties with the flower handles!
Our range of Monahan ribbon colours has also been growing. Each colour of this beautiful hand dyed silk ribbon has it’s own subtle variegation.
As well as decoration for gifts we love it threaded through eyelets of knitting to make a pretty detail. Owner of Loop Susan is planning to pair the ribbons with Isager Highland and Alpaca 1 for the Oleander wrap!
Who better to keep nearby to hold your wraps and swingy cardigans together than this friendly lady! The Ewe Shawl Stick is made from white brass and sits neatly in your knits without snagging any stitches.
Or if you need something a bit more secure, how about a shawl pin such as the new Rounded Metal Clasps or our full colour range of Metallic Shawl pins.
Also coming soon are these stitch markers. We’ve been asked to source ones that are simple, snag free and beautiful – and we think these are the answer! The nickel ones come in a range of sizes and styles, while the coloured ones are painted metal which gives them a nice solid weight.
And we can never say no to a pretty needle gauge! These will be fluttering into the shop in a few weeks.
Once you’ve selected all your haberdashery accoutrements, a little project bag keeps everything in one place. New in is the Pine Forest design, complete with tiny mushrooms! We’re also finding these mini bottles of Eucalan particularly handy to bring along during summer travels.
We’ve also received more of our handmade project bags by Mjseje Chafter, with Lovebirds of every colour!
As always, if you would like to be notified when an item comes back into stock please email us shop(at)loopknitting.com
To celebrate the arrival of all this new haberdashery, we’re having a giveaway! You lovely blog readers could either win a pair of Flower Power scissors or a box of Nickel Stitch markers. So to be in with a chance with winning, comment below letting us know which one you’re swooning over and we’ll choose the winners at random to be announced on the blog next week. Make sure to get your comments in before midnight Wednesday 6th July. Good Luck!
One final thing is to announce the winner of our last giveaway, which was a skein of the fabulous new Brooklyn Tweed Plains. And the winner is … Ghazal who chose the colour Scarab! Congratulations! We’ll be in touch to let you know how to claim your prize.

I just love unique boxes and I’m forever losing my stitch markers … so I would love to win that beautiful box of stitch markers

The Flower Power scissors would be my choice. Beautiful to use not just with knitting projects but also my tapestry and cross stitch. Thank you.

Love the stitch markers. They are beautifully simple. Also I have no idea where all my stitch markers disappear to.
Lovely goodies-my personal favourite are the copper scissors!
Haberdashery departments are as tempting as candy shops. Those colorful stitch markers would be a wonderful addition to my existing collection.
Best wishes from New York!

Everything is fan! Love those flower scissors to bits…. now I’m off to vote:)
The scissors please – I can never find mine when I need them!
The Ewe shawl stick looks like a fab way to secure a shawl, without ruining it. I also love the Pine Forest project bag. It makes me think of Moomin designs, which are my absolute favourite!
So difficult to choose from the treasure trove displayed but I have a passion for stitch markers and would love the coloured ones or the tub they are in!
Thank you
Absolutely spoilt for choice but having to choose, love the bonsai scissors.
Cheers, Sue.

I would love to own a pair of Flower Power scissors. They would quite possibly start a scissor collecting passion!
The scissors – I can still remember the ones I was given when I was 8 years old. There’s something about having a special pair of your own scissors. The rooster ones are cute and a useful size. Stitch markers are pretty too.
Those scissors are just so lovely. I’m with Sally Simons, so collectible.
Ooh the stitch markers look lovely. They’d have to be my choice.

The scissors! I am obsessed with lovely little scissors – in fact, I think that sorting out a bag at the start of a new project and finding the perfect scissors to go in it might be my favourite part of knitting! (or one of them, anyway…
Both !!!!

Stitch markers would be great! Thanks Loop x
I love the project bags – they’re gorgeous!
