Loops of Caldwell & Anderson

(EXTRACT)
“How did you come up with the name Loops of Colour?

I was trying to think of something that would reflect my maiden initials (KLC) I started off thinking I would name my business Knitted Loops of Colour. Loops was decided by a knitting technique known as “E-wrapping” on a domestic knitting machine. This can easily be mimicked on different machines using a variety of techniques one being “terrycloth”. There’s so many things that are knitted and people don’t realise it at all, I find it fascinating. I later shortened it to make it more snappy and easier for branding. I designed the ‘o’ from 'of' as a loop. Colour of course reflects the celebratory use of colour that is shown in my designs…

Did you celebrate your Scottish Heritage growing up?

Being born Scottish is a privilege. You enjoy many of the arts Scotland has to offer throughout your education; you’re taught poetry by Robert Burns in school and encouraged to be creative. Our local heritage is very important to me. I am from the “Cashmere town” Hawick. I was always fascinated when I was visiting the Hawick museum learning about the Knitwear mills.”
