loop
Loop was opened in the Summer of 2005 by Susan Cropper, a New Yorker living in
London. She wanted it to be like the best yarn fair you can imagine in a warm
and inspiring space along with incredible staff who are expert knitters and
friendly and talented people. Most of our yarns are natural fibres and a lot are
hand-dyed yarns from the likes of La Bien Aimee, Madelinetosh, Spincycle, Qing,
The Uncommon Thread, Eden Cottage Yarns, Lichen + Lace, and many small
independent dyers from the UK and around the world. Loop is also the UK Flagship
shop for Quince & Co, Brooklyn Tweed, and Woolfolk. Loop also stocks a huge
range of haberdashery which is useful and beautiful as well as a great selection
of vintage haberdashery which includes buttons, ribbons, and an incredible
selection of embroidery and mending threads. With a passion for print, we also
have a wonderful collection of publications – books and magazines from all over
the world as well as a huge collection of printed patterns. We have the joy of
collaborating with some incredible designers who create patterns for us using
Loop yarns including Fiona Alice, Norah Gaughan, Juju Vail, Paulina Popiolek,
Melanie Berg, Kathryn Merrick, Rachel Coopey, Yoko Hatta, Justyna Lorkowska, and
Florence Spurling. We have published four books which include Pretty Knits,
Vintage Crochet, Juju’s Loops and Loop’s 10 which include designs from Stephen
