With Britain seeing the hottest September day in 105 years, it’s hard to settle in with our yarn projects as evenings get darker, but as we all know full well; winter is coming.

The autumn news just keep coming! This week we had a gorgeous delivery come to us all the way from Washington, USA, and we are very proud to introduce you to Spincycle Yarns. Their Dyed In The Wool is just what it sounds like; dyed in the wool.

As if the 2016 summer hadn’t treated us with enough new goodies already, the newest addition to our new Autumn/Winter yarns is the pure luxury bundles from Lux Adorna, in 100% cashmere, carefully selected colour ways and irresistible softness.

Here at Loop, we go out of our way to find you gorgeous, unique and extraordinary yarns from all over the world to satisfy your knitting and crochet needs, and the same goes for our classes. We are passionate about bringing you outstanding learning opportunities from the best people in the field, and this autumn will be no different. Here’s just a small taste of what’s to come.

To walk into a garden, or country lane; take a handful of petals and leave them in a sun warmed jar with a hank of silk or wool for a couple of weeks; take out; rinse; leave to dry and then knit or weave yourself a magical golden shawl: that’s alchemy!

What a season Brooklyn Tweed are treating us to! First the limited edition, and simply stunning range of lace weight Plains at the start of the summer, and this week are delighted to introduce you to three new colours of Shelter: the Marls. Since it’s launch this past Tuesday it’s been positively flying off our Loop shelves! But don’t you worry, we have another lot coming our way in two weeks time, so you won’t have to wait for very long.

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.
