Purl Soho, New York. Another must stop shop!

My husband has been to New York a few times and he was really excited about going back to Soho.

It was day two of our New York adventure, again cold but there were places to see and places to go, so we couldn’t let freezing wind stop us! Purl Soho was one of those places.

Purl Soho has a great online store and their brick and mortar store was just as beautiful. When you walk in the first half of the store is all yarn. Now I’m not a knitter. I resist the urge just because I know I could easily get sucked into it. It would become a whole other can of worms and I already have a significant UFO pile to manage (Un-Finished Objects). However that didn’t stop me from appreciating the feel and the magnificent colours of  all that yarn.

Then of course at the back of the store, that’s where you find all the bolts of fabric…

… and the quilts…

… and the thread…

… and the kits. How cute are these!

Again, this is my disclaimer, I didn’t buy all this fabric at Purl Soho, but I did buy the last four plus the needles and the silk thread… plus one more treat, that I’m working on as a surprise!

I also bought this fabric! I was really thrilled to find it, I’ve only been searching three years for it! Well, not it specifically but we needed fabric for a curtain in our studio. We just couldn’t find the right fabric to match our colours. I’m proud to say I sewed it up as soon as we got home (one less UFO).

So if you ever find yourself in New York, pop by Purl Soho, it’s a must stop shop!
