We’re bringing you another great post with a round-up of gifts to give your friends and loved ones. This week we’re looking at beautiful yarns, kits, tools and beautiful handmade objects. We also have some reminders of great free patterns we have here on the blog, for last minute gifting or project ideas!

An early Christmas treat has arrived! Introducing our latest free pattern Alvaro, a textured colour block scarf that uses the cosy soft Illimani Cadena. It’s the pattern you’ve been waiting to solve those last minute gift knitting dilemmas!

Introducing our latest free pattern, the Hawick Cowl, designed by long time Loop friend Rachel Atkinson. Using a clever slip stitch pattern and the marvellous Orkney Angora in three of our bespoke colours, it has your gift knitting and winter knitwear plans all sorted!
