In a neighborhood filled with high-end stores peddling designer fashion, Purl Soho stands out for not selling clothes at all.
Instead, the New York store sells materials for sewing, knitting, crocheting, and embroidery. But even the most inexperienced crafter can appreciate its charm. The focal point of the store is a large, eye-catching wall filled with cubby after cubby of yarn ready for crafting.
The store also stocks fabric, needles, and project examples for inspiration, not to mention that it provides a space for crafters and non-crafters alike to sit, rest, and take a break from the stressful world outside. With a welcoming vibe and a helpful staff, Purl Soho is a great place for an aspiring crafter to get started.
