This week we’re continuing our new blog feature ‘On Our Needles’ with another one of our Loopettes, Carole, our store manager. Carole is known for her incredible colour work sweaters, her quirky colour combinations and her love for matching her knits to her handmade dresses! ‘On Our Needles’ is our chance to talk about the staff at Loop and how wonderful they are! We talk all about favourite yarns, recently finished projects, and what kinds of things we love to make.

One of our very favourite yarns at Loop is Qing Fibre. Hand dyed in London by Layla and her expert team, Qing Fibre yarns are a dream to knit and crochet with, and they come in a gorgeous rainbow of colour. A huge delivery from Qing Fibre landed at Loop recently, so we wanted to show you some of the brand new colours from their Shangri-La collection, just arrived for Summer 2019.

We are so happy to announce that Loop will be back in New York this November for our second pre-Holiday pop-up shop.

We’ll be returning to the Here Now space in the West Village and we’re so excited!
