LOOPY MANGO is a knitwear and DIY brand that was founded in New York City in 2004. Big Loop is the thickest yarn available on the market today. It is the most beautiful yarn in the world. We produce it at our mill in Brimfield, MA with 100% domestic merino wool. Every ball of yarn is hand crafted by our artisans. With beginner friendly LM DIY KITS anyone can make luxury accessories and home decor items in a matter of a few hours and sometimes even minutes.
