I’m pleased and proud to tell you that Philadelphia Magazine gave Loop and our sister store Spool the Best of Philly 2010 award for Best Way to Get Crafty! I grew up reading Philly Mag and the annual Best of Philly awards, so this is an incredible honor for me. Thank you Philadelphia Magazine!

Even more, I want to thank you, our customers! Thank you for your shopping at Loop and Spool, for telling your friends about us and for bringing your family and out-of-town guests to see us. Thank you for sharing your knitting, crocheting, sewing, and quilting with us. You inspire us to always be better and you allow us to do the work we love. Thank you!

Kathy H has been on the Loop Staff for 3 years. She started working just one day a week and then became our only full-time person. She has taught more classes at Loop than anyone. In fact, thanks to Kathy, there are many more knitters in Philadelphia than there used to be!
Alas, things change. Kathy was married last year and will have their first child this fall. To get prepared, Kathy and her husband are moving outside of the City, so she won’t be working in the shop any more. We’re sad that we won’t see her as much, but we’re happy for all of the wonderful things happening in her life.
We’re sending Kathy off with a little party this Saturday, July 24. Please stop in any time between 11 and 6 to have a drink, a snack, and to say farewell!
