This week marks the launch of the newest yarn from Brooklyn Tweed – Ranch 02: Forbes. We’re so excited to have this yarn at Loop, with its warm earthy colour palette and springy softness. We just found out we are lucky enough to be the only stockist in Europe of this beautiful yarn, and we couldn’t be more proud!
Wow! We are so excited to welcome the newest mYak yarn to Loop! All of mYak’s yarns are exceptionally soft, with beautiful stories behind them. This week we’re sharing the story behind Tibetan Cloud, which launched a few days ago!
As summer draws to a close, and autumn arrives (bringing lots of rain to London), we’re pulling out our knitwear, and those almost-completed projects, in need of a few finishing touches. We have some new buttons, and we’re stocked up to the rafters with ribbons galore – we’re hoping this lovely little collection will encourage you to finish that cardigan, shawl or sweater you’ve had on the back burner!
Throughout the month of September we have been excitedly waiting each week for the newest patterns from the Quince & Co. Core Collection. We’re doing a round up of all these lovely patterns this week! Loop is so proud to be a flagship store for Quince & Co.‘s beautiful yarns.
Today brings us something we’ve all been very excited about – the launch of Laine Magazine issue 9! We love Laine Magazine and the women who create it; this week we’re looking at all the wonderful projects in the newest issue, and picking out the perfect yarns to go with them.
A wonderful new yarn has arrived at Loop for the Autumn. The Border Mill North Coast Tweed is a beautiful 100% Shetland Wool in a true 4ply weight. Best of all, there are 40 colours to choose from! We’re very excited to show this to you this week.
We wanted to share this incredibly insightful and joyful discussion, hosted by Squam this past July, that centred around issues of non-inclusion and racism that are ingrained in the maker community. We watched the panel discussion and were very moved by it and therefore felt it was important to share with our audience. It has also made us consider ways in which we can build more connections in the knitting community.
We’ve been having a last blast of wonderful weather, so we wanted to give a last hurrah to some gorgeous summer shawls, knitted in lovely plant-based yarns!
With Autumn around the corner (it already feels like Autumn here in London!), we’re bringing you a little round up of some yarns at a good price point for your new Autumn/Winter sweaters and cardigans. Buying enough yarn for a garment can often feel pricey, so we’ve put together this list with some great yarns, all natural fibres, that are well priced and loved by us at Loop! We also have plenty of pattern suggestions for fantastic ‘basics’, so keep reading to find out about those!
This week we want to tell you all about an exciting event we have coming up at Loop this Autumn! Loop is hosting another ‘Darners in Conversation‘ talk on 27th November – we ran a similar event last year and it was wonderful! Last year, Hikaru Noguchi and Celia Pym came to talk all about visible mending, and its place in their textile practice. This year, in November, we will be welcoming Celia and Hikaru back, and we will also be welcoming Rachael Matthews.
