During these strange in-between days spending time at home, rather than at the shop, the Loopettes have been finding sources of comfort from many different places. This week we’re sharing some of those things – lots of us have been knitting, but we’re also stitching, cooking, gardening and reading to keep our minds occupied and our hands busy.

We thought that this week we would share some of the great things we’ve been seeing popping up online during these difficult times. We hope that, while our London and online shops are closed, you’ll be able to continue your creativity and find some wonderful things to occupy your time. Not limited to just craft but also cooking, cinema and theatre; some of our favourites are below!

Hello everyone – this week we’re very sad to bring you the news that we have had to close our online shop for the time being. We have the details here and a few lovely bright things to share too.
