We’ve been having very stormy weather here in the UK for the past week or so, and spring is feeling a little distant at the moment. What better way to perk up than with the gorgeous new cowl pattern from Andrea Mowry? Moonwake Cowl uses 4 different colours of mYak Medium, a worsted weight 100% yak yarn. We have colour combination ideas for you!
There’s a new magazine ‘on the block’! Loop is so pleased and excited to be a stockist for the new magazine from Life In The Long Grass. Issue 1, Through The Trees, is out now, and it’s packed with beautiful photography and great patterns from designers like Sari Nordlund and Marion Em. This week we have lots of information about this brand new publication, and lots of beautiful photography.
This week is the second part of our posts about the wonderful new book from Laine Publishing, 52 Weeks of Socks. We’re looking at more of the patterns this week, and we’re also showcasing our fab collection of sock yarns, and some bits of haberdashery too! We are also running a giveaway this week, both here on the blog and on Instagram, so be sure to keep reading to find out more.
This week we have the first of two posts on the amazing new book ‘52 Weeks of Socks‘ that is coming very soon from Laine Publishing, who are the team behind Laine Magazine. Pre-orders are starting from Monday 3rd February!
This week we’re bringing you a new post in our ‘On Our Needles’ series! We’re always busy at Loop with our own personal knitting projects, and recently lots of us have made versions of The Shift cowl by Andrea Mowry. We wanted to share some of our projects and the yarns we used, as we mixed and matched quite a lot from the original pattern.
We received a box of lovely PetiteKnit patterns at the end of last week – how exciting! The PetiteKnit patterns, designed by Mette, who lives in Denmark, are very modern and very on-trend! This week we wanted to shine a spotlight on some of the new PetiteKnit baby patterns we now have in print at Loop – they’re just adorable! Read on to see yarns we would recommend for knitting baby garments.
Welcome back to the Loop blog! We hope you all had a lovely holiday season, and we want to wish you a (slightly belated) happy new year! January is often very grey and cold for those in the northern hemisphere, so this week we wanted to look at the fabulous book Knits About Winter by Emily Foden, which was published just over a year ago. We are also running a really exciting giveaway this week, so keep reading to find out more!
Christmas is almost here! If you’re still looking for a gift for a loved one, we have a few last minute suggestions for you. The last posting days before Christmas have now passed, but if you’re in London and can visit our shop (we’re open this weekend), or are celebrating the holidays a little later, we can help you out!
We’re bringing you another great post with a round-up of gifts to give your friends and loved ones. This week we’re looking at beautiful yarns, kits, tools and beautiful handmade objects. We also have some reminders of great free patterns we have here on the blog, for last minute gifting or project ideas!
Well, December is upon us! This gift giving season we want to help you pick out thoughtful and beautiful gifts for your loved ones (or just for you!), so over the next few weeks we’ll be posting some great gift round-ups. We’re starting this week with sweet gifts for lovers of haberdashery, sewing and darning, as 2019 saw the expansion of our beautiful haberdashery selections at Loop!
