Dandelion Cowls Free Pattern

When Dandelion Rosy Sport came to Loop, we got very excited about the beautiful hand-dyed colours of this organic merino yarn. We knit lots of pretty swatches in the “Wandering Leaves” stitch to show off  the range of 27 colours! Hand-dyed by Anna Strandberg in Stockholm, Sweden, Loop is proud to be the London stockist of this beautiful yarn. Now we have turned our swatch samples into a free cowl pattern in three sizes!

Buaisou Indigo

Last week, we introduced you to our newest product, Genmou yarns and patterns, which were a collaboration between Daruma spinners and Amirisu. We have also shown the beautiful Buaisou Indigo threads that we carry, which are spun by Daruma as well. We thought you might like to see some behind the scenes shots of this interesting, old, Japanese company.

Genmou Autumn colours

A new range of Japanese products have arrived at Loop. Today is the international launch of Genmou, a collaboration between yarn makers, Daruma and Amirisu. It comes in a range of 20 colours and has beautiful patterns designed to make the most of it.

Loop Piccadilly in mYak baby yak lace

A few weeks ago we announced the exclusive arrival of the mYak yarns (pronounced My-yak) to Loop by introducing the mYak Baby Yak and Silk fingering. Today we’d like to introduce another beautiful yarn in the range ~ mYak Baby Yak Lace . This yarn is a dream; soft, lightweight but strong. It is made of two plies, gently twisted together creating a delicate, lace-weight yarn tailor-made for lacy shawls and accessories. And, oh!, the softness.

We know many of you knit shawls for your special events during the summer. Have you seen our large selection of specialty Brooches and Shawl Pins? We’re always on the look out for lightweight, decorative pins to keep your shawls fastened in place.

This range of subtle, luxurious, elegant yarns comes in a beautiful colour palette. Made of all natural fibres, not only is the yarn beautiful, but it’s ethically sourced and gathered. Paola, the owner behind mYak, spent many years living and working on the Tibetan Plateau and works directly with the yak herders.
