Loop was a really nice shop, they have a wall of sock wool with lots of pretty, pretty things. I hunted up some needles for caitir_eadoin. I was waiting for winterstorrm and I knew that the Wollmeise was upstairs on delivery day so I stayed downstairs rather than clattering down them when she came.

It was a very light and airy store and had a good stock, some nice looking MadTosh, Juno and Handmaiden Casbah.

But..we were here for one thing...



... so upstairs there was a table covered in the pretty wool, and I was hypnotised winterstorrm had to point out there was more on a set of shelves, including the lace weight. I was being very, very good and had only picked up two. winterstorrm shamelessly encouraged me to get more so I left with 4.

It's fair to say I am predictable, there were some beautiful reds and some of the oranges and yellows did actually glow, but this is what I ended up with.







verhext & verratzt in twin.






Tambopato in twin






verzaubert in 100%






Bluebell in Twin. This one is suffering from camera suck, the darker blue is actually more purple than it appears.

They skeins are super tight.

I also got this on the sunday






It's 100% merino in a thick and thin yarn, I love that.
