Indigo has been woven into the culture of Japan for centuries, colouring the garments of Imperial Court members and common people for centuries. The rich tradition of indigo dyeing lives on in Japan, and the collective behind Buaisou are the best of the best.
Do you remember your very first skein of yarn? Your first knitting needles or crochet hook? How it felt to pick your very first crafting materials, and the journey that unraveled from that single choice? The warmth of that memory stays with many of us through decades of crafting. The single skein that sparked it all.
We love every kind of stitching. If it uses a hook or a needle, it’s for us. But every once in a while, one type of stitching just totally captures our imagination, and right now it’s crochet!
Oh my goodness we’ve had so many wonderful things arrive this week! From old favourites to brand-new treasures, our shelves are overflowing!
There’s little we love as much as a shawl. These versitile, all-season garments are a joy to wear, and the rhythm of making them is always entrancing. So when a yarn is designed especially for making shawls, there’s a good chance we’re going to adore it.
Goodness what a treat it has been to have Aitor Saraiba and Tomomi Mimura at Loop this week! The sheer creative joy these two have brought has been incredibly beautiful to watch.
At Loop, we’re lucky enough to spend our days surrounded by gorgeous knits. Over the years we’ve seen so many incredible pieces come through the door. But every once in a while there’s one we just can’t get out of our heads.
It’s almost time to welcome Aitor Saraiba and Tomomi Mimura! These fabulous artists are coming to Loop for a whole week of textile joy, and we can’t wait for all the beauty they’ll bring!
They’re back! It was such an honour to have Mette Mehlsen design the Anemone Scarf especially for Loop’s 20th anniversary and we’re totally delighted to have her kits for the scarf back in the shop.
There is truly nothing like old friends. The ones you can depend on. The ones you grow to admire more and more with each passing year. We’re lucky to have made so many friends at Loop, and this week we’re celebrating two who have been with us right from the start. A new collection by Julie Arkell and two upcoming classes with Hikaru Noguchi are bringing our dear ones close!
