Loopy Mango products are available online and in more than a hundred specialty stores worldwide, as well as at their flagship store in Soho, New York. They’re investment pieces, but worth the price for the top-notch, made-by-loving-hands quality. These days, Loopy Mango products include statement-making scarves, cowls, wraps, hats, and jackets (how incredible is that Little Monster’s jacket?), all rendered in Waejong and Anna’s signature large-looped and rope-knit styles.
Loopy Mango-named for Waejong’s German shepherd, Loopy, and orange tabby cat, Mango-opened its doors the following year. Both quit their longtime jobs for creative pursuits and attended FIT, where they met in 2003.

The company was founded by Waejong Kim, a native of Korea and former foreign-language interpreter and restaurant owner, and Russian-born Anna Pulvermakher, who used to work as a software test engineer for Microsoft and Expedia. That’s thanks to Big Loop, the thickest yarn on the market, which the Loopy Mango crew produces in their mill in Brimfield, Massachusetts. We first came across this couture-caliber knitting and crocheting company at the Brimfield Antique Show, and were immediately smitten with their unbelievably soft, cushy merino wool.

The Nantucket Throw is one of the original Loopy Mango products and is one of the most popular chunky blankets on Pinterest. We recommend always purchasing enough yarn in same order to complete a project. If you are purchasing more than one skein in same color in one order we will make sure the color matches. Please note - due to hand made nature of this product variations in color and thickness are possible. It is a great choice for making objects for the home that can take a lot of wear such as baskets, rugs, poufs, etc. Since this yarn is skinnier than Big Loop one skein makes a smaller size project compared to one skein of Big Loop. It doesn't shed or pill and can be washed in cold, warm or hot water (make sure to wash similar colors separately as it may bleed) and put in a dryer. As a result it is somewhat skinnier than Big Loop, a lot more dense and more sturdy. Which means it is exposed to hot water and heat and in the process it "shrinks".
