All Things Considered

Loop
Posted by Angie Lewin

These days it might be unusual to find yourself in a shop packed with enthusiastic customers but that’s how it was when I called in to Loop, the (admittedly tiny) shop in Islington packed with everything you’d need for knitting and crochet plus work by makers including Julie Arkell and Donna Wilson.

After seeing my friend Hannah’s first attempts at crochet I had to have a go myself and came away with beautiful yarns, hooks, great advice and best of all a pom pom kit. So far there’s a certain 70s influence to my wobbly squares and circles - hopefully I’ll be able to go on one of their courses soon to improve my technique.
