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.
Our London shop is open again! We reopened on 28th July, and have been planning and organising new events, both via Zoom and at the shop. We’re sharing these with you this week in case you missed them! We also have a little round-up of new-in things, and beautiful yarns and objects we have received this past week.
Hurray! We’re so looking forward to welcoming you back to our London shop, we’ve missed you all! In this post we are detailing all the measures we are going to be taking to make visiting and shopping with us as safe as possible for you. We also have a new booking system for shopping appointments, which will be explained here too.
What an exciting week! We’re so happy to welcome Brooklyn Tweed‘s brand new yarn to Loop! Dapple is a beautiful, squishy blend of 60% Colorado Merino and 40% Texas organic cotton, in a DK weight.
Though our shop doors are currently closed, we are alway busy finding wonderful things for you. This week’s post is a little round-up of some new treasures we have for you at Loop; yarns, haberdashery, books and classes.
Say hello to Loop’s newest yarn! The wonderful Tôt Le Matin yarn is hand dyed by Lauriane in Normandy, France. The phrase ‘tôt le matin’ translates to ‘early in the morning’, which we just love. We now stock Lauriane’s springy sportweight+ yarn, and this week we’re introducing you to it! We also have some background information on Lauriane and her love of colour.
We are so incredibly excited to show you the selection of brooches, buttons and fabric remnants from Minä Perhonen that Loop now has available! Minä Perhonen has been a favourite designer of Susan’s (owner of Loop) that has inspired her for many years now, so we are truly honoured to have these beautiful objects in the shop.
This week we’re so excited to tell you all about the naturally dyed yarns we stock at Loop! With summer upon us, we’re so looking forward to knitting up all these gorgeous colours into bright garments and shawls, or embroidering little motifs onto bags, jumpers and socks. We are also running a wonderful giveaway this week, so be sure to read to the end to find out what you can win and how to enter!
With summer finally here, we’re turning our needles towards summer knitting projects. We have a round up of some of our favourite tops, cardigans, shawls and bags here, with yarn suggestions for you too!
