Purl - SOHO

I don't know how to knit, but this cute shop makes me want to start. The yarns are so colorful and exciting. Could I possibly take on another hobby? Purl in SOHO opened in 2002 and then opened Purl Patchwork in 2006. Shopkeepers, Joelle and Jennifer Hoverson are very particular about the fibers for their yarn collection- they sell cotton, bamboo, silk, linen, alpaca, merino and cashmere. They even have camel and soya! I must tell my friend, Julia, about this cute shop! She raises heritage sheep and produces awesome wool. She would appreciate the attention to detail that the Purl shopkeepers exhibit. I love that arcona egg color they selected for the fascade of the building. Cute shop, indeed!
I found three talented photographers who allowed us to use their pics for this blog- please click on their links to learn more about them.
