With Spring being promised by emerging shoots and flowers, the Juniper Moon Findley DK has arrived at the perfect time! This merino and silk blend in 20 beautiful shades has the perfect drape for lighter knits and summer shawls.
Make sure you’re guarded against the chilly winter winds with a pair of cosy mittens! We love mittens as they are an ideal mini canvas to experiment with colour and textures, plus being smaller knits you have the perfect chance to try a new technique. Quick to make, mittens are just the thing for gift knitting too. What do you mean you don’t have a pair!? Don’t worry we’ve selected some of our favourites to keep those fingers busy (and then toasty in a beautiful handmade mitt!)
With a distinctive palette of the most elegant shades, from rich jewel tones to soft semi solids, it’s easy to see why we love Eden Cottage Yarns! Loop stocks three different weights – the delicate and airy Theseus Lace, the silky soft Titus 4ply and the lustrous Bowland DK. We caught up Victoria Magnus, dyer and all round colour whiz, to find out more about Eden Cottage yarns – enjoy!
Loop is so excited for the launch of our first knit along – this weekend we’ll be casting on the gorgeous Sous Sous! Many of you have been contemplating colours and gossiping about gauge on our Ravelry forum, so we thought we’d update you with all the information and our top tips.

We’ve been completely spoilt for choice with so many beautiful books arriving to inspire us for the new year. Currently the Loopettes are swooning over the elegant stitch pattern extravaganza of Madder Anthology One and the cosy simplicity of Quince & Co.’s first printed book Home. Both take advantage of the amazing selection of Quince & Co. yarn that Loop stocks so we thought we’d introduce you to some of our favourites! First to Home, a book dedicated to knits that make a space all the more comfortable and familiar. Designer Pam Allen, owner of Quince & Co. described how initially the …
Happy 2015! We hope you’ve all had wonderful holiday and are ready to kick start your wooly based resolutions into action! We have new workshops with inspirational designers, lessons in the basics of crochet and knitting (because this is the year you’re going to master those new techniques) and an exciting knit along for our gorgeous pattern Sous Sous! First, a little more about our Sous Sous knit along. This swingy textured jumper designed for Loop by cable queen Norah Gaughan was released late last year – and we’ve been in love with it ever since. To celebrate this special collaboration we will …
We can’t wait for the new year to bring you more yarn-y delights and exciting patterns. Warm wishes and all the best for a Happy 2015! Loop xxx
A perfectly sized mini treat for you to end the year with! Arriving just this week are the delightful mini skein sets from Pigeonroof Studios – ideal for last minute small projects and to fill that final gap in your stocking! Six gorgeous skeins are included in each set, changing over a beautiful gradient of one colour. These adorably tiny skeins are made from Pigeonroof Studios High Twist sock, a glossy, soft, superwash merino. This 4ply yarn is perfectly paired with the Madelinetosh Sock as above, but we can also imagine it being best friends with The Uncommon Thread Tough Sock and Quince & Co. Finch.
