Loop is for (fiber) lovers! Specializing in one-of-a-kind spinning batts, roving, clouds and handspun art yarn, Loop supplies knitters, spinners, weavers, and felters with fiber that inspires.

Steph Gorin of Loop creates art fibers for fiber artists. Her goal is to make hand-carded batts, roving and handspun yarns that are as beautiful as the finished objects produced by those who use them. By focusing on supplies, and not on the end product, Steph is able to share her unique color sense and affinity for fiber with many other crafters. This artistic collaboration is what inspires her work. Nothing motivates her more than seeing her customers’ finished projects.

Loop products are made with every fiber imaginable. Steph makes use of everything from yak down to bamboo, milk protein, recycled sari silk, and shredded money. She uses colors and fibers in unexpected combinations, and deliberately cards uneven, bumpy batts to create texture and randomness in her handspun.

Loop spinning batts have appeared on the cover of Spin Off Magazine (Winter 2007), and have been featured on the pages of Spin Off, Knitty, Craft Magazine, DIY City Mag, Lime & Violets “The Daily Chum,” and numerous spinning websites, blogs, and forums. They are also featured in “Sit and Spin,” a spinning DVD by Insubordiknit.
