Susan Cropper of Loop Knitting wins a BT entrepreneur award

Susan Cropper of Loop Knitting has been recognised for playing a key part in the recent knitting resurgence, and has been presented with a BT Business Essence of the Entrepreneur award.

Loop is considered to be first London shop that reflected this new interest in knitting. Susan sources yarns from all over the world as well as stocking a vast range of haberdashery, patterns and knitting books. Loop also supports independent designers working in knit and crochet by selling their unique work in-store.

Together with 19 other entrepreneurs, Susan has been commended for her innovation and success - a particular feat given the current economic climate - and was picked from hundreds of finalists by a panel of judges headed up by Dragon's Den's Peter Jones and The Apprentice's Claire Young.

The winners have had the essence of their business captured in a unique portrait by renowned celebrity photographer Rankin, and these images will be displayed in a public exhibition at the gallery@oxo on London's South Bank from 28th January until 28th February 2010.

To find out more about Loop call the shop on +44 (0)20 7288 1160, email info@loopknitting.com, or visit the website at www.loopknitting.com.
