Learn how-to knit a double seed cowl and effin scarf in #ShopShowcase with Loops A Yarn Store in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
How did you get started?
I had an ad agency with my husband but I also loved to knit...and when I would walk into yarn stores, they all felt so old-fashioned. It was hard to find anything that I really wanted to make, and hard to get good service. I wrote a business plan for an on-trend, modern yarn store, but couldn't get a lease deal for a couple of years. So I made a cashmere scarf for the owner of the shopping center, and got the deal! Loops has been open for more than a decade now, and we're know for on-trend, effortless, original designs and a huge yarn selection, from affordable to luxury. Our Loops Troops are known around the world for their super-friendly, knowledgeable service. LoopsLove.com is where people go to be inspired by carefully curated projects in the best yarns. And our LoopsClub ships on-trend, effortless projects around the world each month!
Where are you located?
We have one huge, bright, modern, inspiring store at 61st and Yale in Tulsa. It's become a destination for LoopsLove.com and LoopsClub customers from around the world.
Which products do you specialise in?
We have hundreds of Loops Original designs created by our own Loops Troops. We focus on modern designs in luxury yarns that are every bit as pleasurable to knit or crochet as they are to wear or gift. Then we make sure to give people the encouragement and support they need to complete their projects!
