The Purple Purl physical store is now closed. It was a great yarn store, and a fun café, I'll miss them! From their website: Yes, it is true . . . After 13 wonderful years our “Purl of a Shop” is now closed. We are incredibly grateful to our customers and community of knitters, crocheters, fibre and yarn lovers who have supported us over the years. Thank you! As always . . . Happy Stitching!!! The Purple Purl Team

The staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a great selection of wool. If they don't have what you are looking for, they are more than welcome to order it for you.
I love this shop. Oh my the colours....I've taken many classes there. Also their Friday mornings are wonderful. Take your present project with you and get a few tips...Everyone who works there is friendly, keen to help,and most of all, so very patient...... If you're a beginner, eager to learn, start right here. Ask for Jennifer, ( a steady source of info and help) she is encouraging and kind. Tell her I sent you
Really lovely selection of yarn, and Jennifer is excellent to work with. She responds very promptly to e-mails if you are shopping online and have a question, or if there has been a problem with your order. I saw some really beautiful buttons on the shop's Instagram (that are not listed on the website) and Jennifer e-mailed me helpful details and sent them to me right away. I have been incredibly happy with every experience I've had with the shop, and will gladly shop here again.
Lovely shop. Great selection. I can't recall the person that helped me on the floor, but they were fantastic! I am so indecisive, but also dont want someone to make the decision for me. They read me very well and provided suggestions, but also knew when to take a step back. It's a nice touch that they offer to wind your wool for you!
Such a lovely and beautiful store to find! The staff are super friendly and informative. bought some sock yarn and they rolled it up for me! Loved it! Took a class and it made me more confident in making socks! Thank you Jen!
I live far from the Purple Purl but Jen is so knowledgeable and friendly that it is COMPLETELY worth the trek!
For a couple years now I've been trying to get into the knitting 101 classes here but my schedule is such a mess that I've not been able to make it work. Finally, once I found out that I would soon be an auntie for the first time, I decided on private lessons with Denny. I was so looking forward to the experience of being a student rather than a teacher (which is what I am). The staff is so warm, inviting and sincere. There are no airs about any of them. Denny is a phenomenal teacher - so patient, non-judgmental, remembers absolutely everything, and really tries to apply the knowledge in a relevant way for the student. In a very short time, I had knit a hat for my sweet little nephew and was being encouraged to jump into the next project. Everyone there (including the folks just sitting and knitting) were just as excited about the hat (and the nephew) as I was! The support is heart-melting, the people are amazing, and I am totally hooked. I'm practically doing two lessons a week and just cannot get enough. I feel so confident after just a couple lessons and that is the sign of a good teacher. No. Sorry. A *GREAT* teacher. I love these guys.
