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?
Easy and fun to make, pompoms brighten up everyone’s day!
We just can’t get enough of that beautiful summer sun that is starting to shine, which means only one thing, more summer yarns! New to Loop we have the light and soft Alba Cotton from the lovely BC Garn.
Like spring flowers these beautiful Sophie Digard necklaces are blooming all round the shop! Plus in this post we have some colour inspiration to get you ready for our Piccadilly Shawl Knit Along this summer!
A beautiful collection of the most unique yarns, all from small mills in Japan, are inspiring our latest knits. Luxurious silks, marvellous mohair and some multi-coloured treats are all new to Loop this Spring.
With their super pointy tips, weighted cables and that super smooth stainless steel, we just love Chiaogoo needles! Now this good thing comes in a tiny package as Chiaogoo have introduced a Mini Interchangable Set!
As we start to welcome back the warmer weather it’s also time to say hello to some beautiful new cottons! We’re expanding our range of plant fibres like linen and cotton in preparation for the summer projects you have planned. First up we have these cute little bundles from Dutch brand Scheepjes.
Embroidery is a wonderful way to add detail and adorn your knits with something extra special. For this post on the blog we’re taking you through the process of adding the flower motif to the Rosemaling Mitts from Loop’s 10. Make sure you read to the end of the post to find out how you can win an embroidery book!
As well as bringing you the most exquisite knitting and crochet goodies, we’ve been slowly curating beautiful supplies of a craft we also love – embroidery. Perfect for adding a pretty embellishment to a finished knit or as a beautiful detail on it’s own. You’ll now find tools and threads at Loop, plus a range of books to get you inspired. Remember that we are closed Easter Sunday 27th March, but open as normal on Good Friday and Saturday 26th.
