What Can YOU Make With Loops Yarn?

What Can YOU Make With Loops Yarn?

Thanks to Michaels for sponsoring this post, sharing their photos and encouraging us to craft.

Have been to your local Michaels store lately?  If so, you’ve seen an amazing new yarn, Loops by Loops and Threads. With stitches sewn into the yarn you can knit with no tools.  All you need are your hands.  Now you may be thinking that this is good starter project to introduce kids to yarn crafts, but it’s so much more.  I’ve been asked, “Kristen, what can you make with Loops yarn?”  I’m glad you asked!

What Can You Make With Loops Yarn Loops Scarf

The answer is you can make anything you can imagine!  Yes, you can knit a simple scarf, but any stitch pattern with knits and purls is an option.  Ribbed, garter, seed stitch, basket weave and more are all going to look beautiful with Loops.  Plus the acrylic/nylon blend of the yarn makes it a soft option that drapes like a dream.

What Can You Make With Loops Yarn Loops Blanket

Blankets are a breeze!  One of my favorite things about the Loops yarn is how fast it knits up.  The colors slowly shift from light to dark and back again making your blanket look like a watercolor painting.  Joining a new ball of yarn is so easy that you don’t even need to slow down.  But more about that later…

What Can You Make With Loops Yarn Loops Cabled Wrap

Cables!  Yes, CABLES!  This yarn proves that just because something is easy doesn’t mean it has to be plain.  You can even work cables without tools.  Leave your cable needle in your bag because, again, all you need are your hands to create stunning cable designs.

Loops is available only at Michaels so head on over to grab your favorite color.  Well, if you can choose just one favorite out of all 12, that is.  Once you’ve got your yarn I’ve got a question for you…

I bought yarn with very small loops and am hoping to make mug cozies. Not sure I will be able to do it with just my hands, what tools might help? I am a beginner at all of this, but do wish to learn. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance. ;-)

I am also wanting to make baby booties with loop yarn. I was able to find a couple you tube tutorials, but they are very difficult to follow. They are in a different language. I’m so looking forward to seeing one in English!

Can you make baby booties with loop yarn? I have searched and cannot find a video or anything for baby booties.

Hi! If I wanted to make the Seersucker Pullover for a man, what would men's size measurements be for that pattern?

Hi, My son and I have discovered the Loopz in Australia and have been having lots of fun making blankets and scarves. I would love to make a cardigan. Do you have any patterns for cardigans using finger knitting? Thank you again for your great videos! Hine
