Loopy For Wool?
Our new order for Plain Loopy Wool has arrived and it is lovely! 
Look at those lovely soft summery colours! Loopy is the lighter cousin of Can Can and each ball is enough for you to make yourself, or a friend, a beautiful scarf.
You can easily knit up this wool using Size 7 or 8 needles, your choice, this is a quick way to a pretty scarf for wearing on a summer evening. (It's so easy even Richard can do it!)
We also have the variegated colours back in the Shop and Online too. http://www.craftersandco.com/shop/index.php?search=Rico
Have you used this wool?
Please tell us how you have got on! Did you knit a scarf or something else, please tell and share your photos.

I have been using can can and loopy and selling the scarves god charity they knit up brilliantly and I find that two balls of loopy will make three scarves had a problem with cancan as I could knit one scarf but had some left then had an idea and it worked just knit a very small scarf and stitch it together pop it over your head and it looks fab with a jumped they are selling better thN scarves so no waste

Thanks Doreen,
It is always good to hear about ways to use up crafty spares or scraps. We’re glad it going well for you.

Hello, I used the rico loopy yarn to make 2 scarves so far! I love it. I also bought some can can yarn and can’t wait to make a scarf out of that. Can you please tell me if there are other things yo can make with the rico loopy or cancan yarn besides scarves? Thank you!!

We know of customers that have used the CanCan wool to knit up handbags.
But we don’t have a pattern at the minute. If we can find one we’ll let you know.
If anyone else has ideas or have made other items please share it with us.
