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!

As a wannabe knitter the first item would be a bag to carry my knitting projects in. Hope I can be a “stylin’ knitter with that bag.
Happy anniversary! May you have many more!
Happy Anniversary! Looking forward to many more!
Happy Anniversary! I love the Loopy Ewe so very much! 🙂
It’s a carpetbag! Cool!

Happy Anniversary to Loopy! You guys are such a wonderful company I would love to win that lovely bag 🙂 One can never have too many pretty yarn bags!
Happy happy anniversary! What a lovely bag too. My current knitting bag is a grocery recycling bag. I can see it now – me drinking a latte working on some knitting with this bag beside me, outside in a cafe and enjoying some much needed sunshine… I hope, I hope!
The bag and anniversary shawl is beautiful. If I win I can pick it up kn Wed when I stop jn. Vacationing from Wisconsin and staying at a friend’s cabin in the mountains. Trip to Ft Collins Wed to see another Co friend and of course my Little Loopy has to visit his siblings.
Wowed zowee it took a while to get to the bottom. Congratulations on your 7th year – I hope you will have many more.
I love the bag.

Happy Anniversary! Love yarn and love Loopy. I always smile when I see sheepies. I don’t have a LYS so always shop on line. I think the shape of the little bag is darling so hope it comes here to southern Utah.
Absolutely beautiful! Congrats on your anniversary!!!

Lovely bag, perfect for the beautiful alpaca hoodie I am knitting to keep my daughter warm in the cold, damp UK this winter!
Happy Anniversary! I used to live in Ft. Collins and so wished we were there at the same time! My brother is still there and he doesn’t need to know that I want to visit him just so I can shop at The Loopy Ewe;)
Congratulations on 7 years! You are amazing, always so upbeat, and enthusiastic – I just love your attitude. The revamped website is a huge improvement and it’s great. I love being able to search by fiber weight. I always check The Loopey Ewe first when I’m yearning for something. As an anniversary wish, I wish you to grow to become the ultimate website for everything knitty.
Happy anivarsery. I know I have that 7th year itch.
Happy Anniversary. 7 years is a wonderful milestone. I love the bag you are giving to one lucky person!
