WHAT'S ON AT THE LOOP
Chunky, Lovely, Lofty and Quick
Looking for a one-ball project that you can knit in one sitting? Need to make a gift in a flash? Try our Maxed Out! moebius cowl. It's made from a single, 200g ball of Lang Maxima, a superbulky knitted tube-yarn.
The cowl is knitted on 10mm needles, but a clever trick makes the stitches as big as if they were knit on needles double the size--the gauge is less than one stitch per inch!
Colour Lovers Rejoice!
Kauni is back. This wonderful Danish sport weight Shetland-style yarn comes in an amazing array of gradient colourways, ranging from understated earth tones to exuberant rainbows.

Pictured above is a version of the Speckled Eyelet Scarf knit on 10mm needles. The scarf is a free pattern exclusive to The Loop, available here. It's a great one-skein project that knits up in a flash and shows off the texture and colours of this unique yarn.

100% Atlantic Canadian Cotswold wool blankets from Lange's Rock Farm
We've been carrying Lange Rock Farm's lanolin-rich natural Cotswold wool for a while now. The beautiful natural colours of this yarn evoke the rugged south shore landscape where the Langes raise their flock and quarry local granite.
Now we're carrying the Langes' wonderful custom-woven pure wool blankets. The blankets are woven in Prince Edward Island, making them a 100% Atlantic Canadian product. The naturally curl of Cotswold fibre means these blankets are surprisingly warm for their weight. They are also have a soft and springy, thanks to the careful fulling and napping process. The blankets are available in natural brown with natural cream stripes or cream with brown stripes, and in lap, single, double or queen sizes. The blankets make wonderful wedding gifts, and are perfect for home or cottage. Also available are natural Cotswold sheepskins.
