It’s our anniversary! Thank you so much for seven great years of yarn, fiber, and general Loopy-ness! We appreciate all the times you have ordered from us, blogged about us, shared our site with your friends, and enabled us to continue to grow and expand. We always feel honored when you tell us that you consider The Loopy Ewe your LYS (local yarn shop), even when you may live hundreds of miles away. We feel the same way about you. We consider you part of the Loopy Family no matter where you are, and we’re always thankful to have you here.
We want to celebrate our anniversary in a couple of different ways today. First – we have a very fun Seventh Anniversary Kit that we designed just for this occasion. We worked with Malabrigo to create a special colorway on their sock yarn base. The color is a deep blue, but also has some hidden tones of green and purple. We love what they came up with!
We then had Debbie from Nutty Creations do an anniversary pattern for us. Debbie has done anniversary patterns for us all seven years we’ve been in business and done anniversary kits, so it’s an important Loopy tradition. This year she designed a fun shawl. We’ll email you the pattern after your order ships. If you don’t get it within 48 hours, let us know. Sometimes the emails bounce back to us.
To round out the kit, we had Lantern Moon take their very popular sheep tape measures and stitchmarkers, and “loopify” them. Because of course those sheep needed red socks, just like Loopy. They’re cuter that way. We have the kits up on the website and ready to ship for you. The Elves have been carefully packaging these up off-camera all week long! (Sneaky, keeping it off the Webcam.)Â You are also welcome to add other items to your cart along with the Anniversary Kit (in case you’re going for free shipping in the U.S.). We hope you enjoy this year’s kit!
The second way we are celebrating is by having a contest. Offhand Designs sent us this beautiful project bag and we’d like to ship it off to one of you. It measures 17″ long x 6″ wide and has a frame top so that you can open it up and knit right out of the bag and it stays open. The inside is beautifully lined, and you’ll find four pockets for your accessories. Perfect for your most current project. Who would like it? To be entered into the contest, just leave us a comment below. We’ll randomly draw one winner next week. (We will have another anniversary blog contest cooked up for you next week, too.)
Thank you again for making this such a fun place to be, every single day. We hope you enjoy being here (virtually or in person), too!

Happy Anniversary!!
I cannot believe it is now 7 years. I remember when you were selling out of your home, and had just a few hours a week that we could come buy to purchase yarn. I really miss you being in St Louis, and being able to come in and see and touch all the fabulous yarns.
I wouldn’t know what to do with a bag that nice. It sure is pretty. 🙂
Happy anniversary! Those loopy stitch markers are very cute!
While I don’t live in St. Louis anymore (and neither does Loopy), they are still my #1 LYS! Thanks for the years of wonderful yarn!
Congratulations on your 7th anniversary ! It was wonderful to visit your shop while we were stationed in Colorado . May you enjoy many many more years …..cause we knitters love you !

Happy Anniversary, Loopy Ewe. I’m still saddened that you left STL so you are my LYS. But I’m glad I can still order from you and receive my fun Loopy packages. Have a blessed day.
Happy Birthday, Loopy Ewe!!! Wishing you seven times seven more healthy, enjoyable years of business!
After many years of enjoying your excellent product selection and customer service vicariously via my computer, I was beyond thrilled to finally be able to go to your fabulous shop in person earlier this month while on vacation in Colorado, my native state! To be able to see with my own little eyes what the store camera had shown me on my computer! To talk with your warm, welcoming staff! To touch all the attractive, desirable yarns with my own ten fingers! Such choices ~ I thought I’d never make up my mind! Poor hubby thought I was going to swoon! Or, need a new, empty suitcase to bring everything home!
Thank YOU for making The Loopy Ewe such a fun place to be, vicariously AND in person!
Thank you for this opportunity to win such a gorgeous, practical project bag! I would love to be the fortunate person to win it, to use while knitting the projects I bought from the shop. I promise I would give it a very good, loving home.
Happy birthday again, from Lynne in New Hampshire

Happy Anniversary from a fan in San Diego. Visited your store last fall and it honestly was the nicest yarn store I have ever been to…next time will have better planning – had only one hour there before we were off to the airport to return home. Already told my DH that we will spend a night in your area just to go to your store. Would absolutely love to have the bag, it looks perfect for yarn projects and it looks great too. Keep up the good work.
Congratulations on seven terrific years. May you have many more!
