Here at Loop, we are long time fans of the lovely people at Blue Sky Fibres (formerly Blue Sky Alpacas). In fact, they were among the first yarns that we stocked when we first opened up shop, almost 11 years ago, making us their first ever stockist in Europe. So it goes without saying that we are more than a little excited to continue supporting them as they launch the new chapter of their story.

Rachel Atkinson is a talented designer, technical editor and knitter  – now she’s on to her next wooly adventure with her yarn Daughter of a Shepherd that launched this year.

Knit yarn while the sun shines! Grab yourself a bargain from our sale yarn selection, or top up your haberdashery and pattern supplies. We’re making room for all the exciting treats that are arriving soon, so stock up your stash before all these sale yarns are gone!

What’s knitting without all the tools and accessories? Useful and beautiful, we have a whole range of new items that are arriving in the shop now and in the next few weeks.

A true one off, Plains is something extra special from Brooklyn Tweed. A breed specific, limited edition yarn created from a single-batch collaboration with Mountain Meadow Mill in Buffalo, Wyoming USA.

The ever growing independent magazine scene has some new delights that we’re now stocking! It’s such a wonderful thing that people are taking to self-publishing – we are so happy to support it by having these amazing new publications for you to enjoy at Loop!

It’s knit along time again! What better way to mark the summer months than joining in with knitters all over the world and enjoying a project together… and there will be prizes! We’re casting on our Piccadilly Shawls on Saturday 4th June, the day that shawl designer Justyna Lorkowska comes to Loop to teach! So come and join in the fun on our Ravelry Forum and on Instagram with the hashtag LoopPiccadillyKAL

Now we’re always thrilled when deliveries of woolly goodness arrive, but last week something extra special made it’s way to Loop. We’ve been working with the lovely folks at The Border Mill to bring you our very own range of yarn! Loop Alpaca Tweed is soft, textured and has the most gorgeous heathered colours – can you tell why we’re head over heels?
