Excellent service and fast delivery from California to Montreal, Canada. I had to order another skein and wanted the same dye lot color, so I wrote to the customer service and they replied very fast with the instructions. Lili, from customer service, is a very efficient and nice person. Thank you!
Purl Soho answered a request for a pattern that was no longer available immediately (although they were closed). They sent the pattern for free and a beautiful explanation. I have been a fan of their beautiful store for years. Now I even love them more!
I’ve loved purl soho for years and made numerous blankets, shawls, scarves and hats. Their patterns are invariably clear and easy to follow. The yarns are incredibly yummy, soft and in stunning colors. And their customer service team is quick to respond to my questions. Classic style on all fronts.
Wonderful customer service! My order was sent to the wrong address, TOTALLY MY FAULT and luckily the post office returned the package but it took a long time and I have been kept up to date almost daily on its progress…it made it back and it is now on its way to the correct address!Love their yarn and patterns, customer for life!
Customer Service really could not be any better than what they already are. I received prompt replies to each of my emails & the person was obviously knowledgeable about the yarns & even went to the point where this person presented me with yarn substitutions that I could use. Im extremely happy with the service that I received.Thank-you Kelsey for your efforts! Kat Szente
Just love the patterns and yarn from this store and their customer service is second to none.
I have visited many yarn shops in person and online over the years. Purl Soho is one of the best if not the best. Their customer service is unparalleled with knowledge and efficiency. Their yarn selection is curated so that you will not buy a bad yarn from Purl Soho. They dont have anything of lesser quality. Their patterns (both the free ones and those for purchase) are written with clarity and detail. As and added bonus, they have so many video tutorials on Youtube to explain tricky skills or just give you a refresh. Those videos are also the best in class. They get right to the point instead of talking for 5 minutes to introduce what they are going to show you (you know the ones. You have to skip ahead to minute 5 where they actually start to show that Kitchener stitch or whatever). I just cannot say enough good things about Purl Soho. Some may find Purl Soho to be pricey when compared to big box craft stores but there really isnt a comparison. You get what you pay for. With your Purl Soho purchase comes a guaranteed quality and experts to guide you should you need help.
I have been a knitter for years but just discovered Purl Soho about a year ago. I love their website. Its so easy to navigate. They have beautiful free patterns and a huge variety of yarn. Their customer service department is exceptional. I needed a recommendation for yarn and they got back to me the next day with several terrific options. I will definitely continue to use Purl Soho for all of my knitting needs. Kathy Wood
Absolutely AMAZING craft shop. Excellent customer service and excellent quality items. I was searching for a specific yarn color and found out it is not longer available; but Kelsey saved the day, went the extra mile and found two skeins for me! I’ve always been a Purl SoHo fan, but now I’m a super fan for life :)
If you enjoy sewing, knitting, crocheting or creating jewelry and you havent visited Purl Soho, you are in for a pleasurable experience. I love the fine quality of their products, and I appreciate their fine customer service. Whenever, Ive add a question or require a pattern explanation, I reach out to Purl Soho. Instead of waiting for hours/days, someone gets back to me immediately. I know you can buy yarn at a craft store; however, I want my finished piece to look as though I paid a fortune for it and I want it to endure. This is what I get for my labor of love and from Purl Soho.
Best shop ever! professional, friendly and very helpful!!!
Can not say enough good things about Purl Soho and their customer service. Anna is a huge help when contacted. I love their Linen Quill as well as many of their other products. You can’t go wrong shopping with them.
Fabulous yarn, gorgeous colors, outstanding customer service!
Very accurate, professional, and fashionable site for knitting, crochet and weaving patterns as well as beautiful yarns. A classic. I have not visited store in New York, but imagine it is lovely.
Love this shop - and everything Purl do. They share some fantastic modern patterns, beautiful yarns (love the Season Alpaca) - and superb customer service too, quick and helpful responses. Thank you Purl!
I like this store because they carry yarn made of natural fibers without polyester.During my most recent trip (soon after Christmas) I was hoping to buy baby alpaca grey yarn for a scarf, and couldnt find what I was looking for. The closest yarn to the one I wanted was a bit pricey, and they didnt have enough of it, I would have to wait a week for a new order to get in and I had to finish knitting in 2 days. So I left without buying. Also the store does not offer returns, only exchange or in store credit.
Wonderful yarns and fabrics. Fun to shop there before shop was closed due to Covid. Customer service friendly and prompt.
I just received my order for the linen yarn I ordered. Because I had heard that knitting with linen could be a bit difficult and that winding it the right way was important, I asked a question about winding the yarn in the notes part of the order form. I received an in-depth response via email from Zha Zha and will now follow her suggestions as I begin to make the placements for my new dining room table. Thank you for your kind and prompt response and excellent customer service.
Purl Soho in my experience provides top class customer service. But this is not just related to sales. What really impresses also, is the quality of designs, materials, tutorials and responses to individual queries. I really find the publication of questions and answers on patterns incredibly helpful, as frequently these clear the fog!Well done Purl Soho.
For me, buying fabric is such a tactile experience. Buying fabric online was not easy choice. I considered other sellers due to lower prices but the color choices just spoke to me. When I received my fabric there was an area that had a bit of defected. I wrote an email to see what can be done. The response to my email came back to me within a day! They are sending me replacement. Easy peasy! I was so taken by the customer service that I know Ill have Purl Soho as my go to when I shop for fabric. It truly made my day. I just cant say enough about how beautiful Watercolor linen fabric and such a please to work with. .Thank you for being there, Purl Soho!!
I posed several questions regarding different yarns and received a very prompt and thorough reply a few hours later. Purl Soho also gave me various links to projects using the yarns. The reps are always courteous and extremely helpful! I can’t wait to visit the shop when it opens!
Class act altogether. Beautiful quality yarns, both their own excellent brand and a few well chosen alternatives, great patterns with a high level of classic style without being too trendy or the least bit stodgy, lovely accessories, and finely curated notions. The customer service is simply the best that I have had the good fortune to experience. I had an issue that was quickly and graciously resolved and they went over and above any expectations in accommodating me. I am so looking forward to the shops reopening but until that happens, ordering online is actually a pleasure as it is easily expedited. I needed some guidance in choosing alternative yarns for one of their patterns and I was given patiently attentive and helpful options. Purl Soho is simply the best on all counts.
Lovely lovely experience. I was so happy to finally be able to visit. The shop is beautiful and well organized. The staff were also beautiful kind knowledgeable helpful and patient with me (a chatty overly excited first time visitor). I loved the samples of knit fabric with tags identifying the yarn and gauge. Most helpful. I took pictures of my favorites to remember for future online purchases (since Im not local).
Great customer service-I requested a change in color for yarn I purchased online (before it shipped) and Anna was quick to respond and honor my request.
Is my fave place to get free patters. Their yarn is a bit pricey for my budget, but it is so worth it. I wish to visit the store in New York in the near future.Happy Knitting!
Everything you want in a LYS--quality, unique merchandise, fabulous customer service. LOVE!!
Everyone here is so kind and knowledgeable. Its expensive yarn but you also get what you pay for. Ill only come with my mom (shes knitting crazy!) and they always ask her if she needs help, and finds what she needs. They also have large clearance/sale bins (pictured), sewing supplies, embroidery hoops and thread, buttons, etc.
This is a wonderful place to shop for yarn online, and patterns! They have excellent quality yarns and patterns from Beginner to Experienced. I only knit, so I refer to that. Whenever I have had a question or problem with a type of yarn or a pattern, the ladies ALWAYS answer quickly and positively.
Purl Soho is my favorite knitting store for so many reasons! A few include that they have the most beautiful selection of yarns and everything else I need for projects. But most importantly is the fact that their customer service is superb: from simple questions about what yarn to use for a project, to more complicated questions about one of their patterns or an issue with an order. Each staff member is also caring and warm...they ensure that this little gem of a store remains one of my happy places in NYC : )
Ive visited the NYC shop once, and have purchased supplies through Purl Sohos website many times. But especially during the pandemic, Purl Soho has been a true source of joy! I love browsing the website looking at patterns and new notions. I always feel very inspired by their projects. The website is very user-friendly, and it is easy to add your name to be contacted if an item is out of stock. Ive reached out to customer service on a number of occasions, and everyone is always so helpful. Im so proud of the pieces Ive created with the help of Purl Soho.
I just recd my order of moda toweling. It is everything I thought it would be! I have been searching for toweling material for a VERY long time and have finally found what I want. Purchasing material online is difficult for obvious reasons, but let me tell you I have struck gold on this one! I love the color. Although it is tan it has a yellowish tinge to it. It is perfect. Thank you Purl Soho!Nancy from RI
I have been pleased with both the items purchased and the service of Purl Soho.
For some years now I have loved the gorgeous yarns and patterns from purl soho. But it is their excellent customer service that I am commenting on today. I needed help with my account and the problem was solved via email within a very short time. Impressive!
Purlsoho is a great partner for my creativity. They have an extensive range of colors of embroidery yarn and they are my go-to for all my embroidery materials. Since Im getting their email updates, Im now tempted to try getting back to knitting. The mix of easy and more complex projects they are always showing is very encouraging for those of us who are a bit tentative in our skills.
Their customer service rocks! They responded to my question within the hour and took care of my issue immediately - something that doesn’t always happen with other companies. Thanks Customer Service Kelsey!
This store is a class act. I live in the rural South, and Ive never visited any of Purl Sohos stores. But I wonder what Im missing because their online store is fantastic. I visit there nearly every day. I like the high quality of their free patterns. Right now Im totally infatuated with their organic cotton yarn, Cotton Pure. Im looking forward to trying their wool and linen yarns.
Purl Soho offers wonderful yarns. Their customer service has always been prompt and attentive and very helpful. Cant wait till the store in NYC is open again.
Ive shopped here a handful of times and always had a wonderful experience. Amazing customer service. Gorgeous yarn. Recently, I reached out about a knitting needle kit that was purchased for me as a gift years ago because the case was peeling and in really bad shape. I spoke with Zha Zha, who went above and beyond to get me a brand new case, free of charge. Im a lifelong fan/customer!
Absolutely fantastic customer service. Some of the best Ive ever received.I got a gift card for my sister-in-law and was having issues getting it to process correctly on the website. They responded immediately with quick work around for me, while they needed to work on the technical issues. Technology doesnt always function flawlessly and they made sure that as a customer I was minimally impacted.Unfortunately, the gift card go lost in email spam filters, but once I finally reached out to Purl Sohos customer service, I got an immediate reply with a solution. So, two instances and they came through with flying colors each time.
Great free patterns from knitting quilting hand embroidery !!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love love their fabric collection! Excellent customer service as well. Hope the store comes back soon!
An amazing customer service - so honest and forthright! Jen has gone out of her way to keep me informed about my purchase! I would highly recommend this store!
What a wonderful place to order yarn. Their yarns (Purl Soho yarns) are first class and worth the price. Customer service has taken care of any issues I’ve had quickly and fairly. Most all patterns offered the public are rarely,if ever, graded advanced and user friendly and classic. I cannot think of anything negative about this company........try them out and find out for yourselves.
Purl Soho has the best yarns & FREE patterns. I have made several projects with them & very happy with the quality of the finished project.Customer service is important to me & at Purl Soho they do help and most importantly respond.
Purl Soho is my longtime favorite for all things knitting. They stock wonderful yarns and notions, and they publish an astounding number of accessible patterns for all skill levels. They customer service is prompt, helpful, and truly friendly!
So helpful! My first time but not my last!
Generously sent me a free copy of a discontinued pattern. Great customer service !
I want to commend Purl Soho for their response to my issue with yarn that was consistently twisting and hard to work. They got back to me right away, took the complaint seriously, investigated with their supplier and kept in touch each step of the way. And this was during lockdown when Im sure they were already stretched to the limit. I was offered a replacement, and Im very grateful to them for going above and beyond to keep me knitting during the pandemic.
I placed an order with Purl Soho on 14/07/2020, so excited to receive my yarn! I received a postal confirmation of delivery on 17/07/2020. I have compassion for postal services due to the pandemic, however I have not had any errors for months, and never received my order.I have been to the post every other day since 17/07, and every day since 25/07/2020, only to be told it must have been stolen.I notified Purl Soho of the postal issue on 25/07. They immediately responded to me and communicated with me throughout the days and evenings.They told me they have re-shipped my order at no additional cost to me. I am humbled by the integrity of this company, their prompt and compassionate response, and continued communication with me.I am so very grateful to them. I believe a for a company be valued, they must have quality in product / merchandise, together with their employees. Purl Soho definitely has both. I value this company, you can too.Thank you kindly,Karen
I had a credit that must have been over a year old, they honored it and made my Covid 19 experience as good as could be. Wonderful people, wonderful products !
I adore the staff here! They love yarn and it shows. Recently I emailed Purl Soho for advice: my knitting project is worked with two yarns held together and I want the colors to complement each other. They answered my color question and gave me feedback on how the textures of different yarns will play together. The end product will be lovelier and my knitting experience more relaxed than if I hadnt emailed them.
Purl Soho has become my go to site for knitting patterns and materials. Their patterns have a contemporary styling which is hard to find elsewhere and the materials that are offered are exceptional. Being an advanced beginner, I have learned much from the question and answer section which follows each pattern and their tutorials have made me braver in tackling techniques that I never would have tried before. But, it is the people who make this site such a wonderful site to shop. They are helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. We Canadians also appreciate the flat rate $8. shipping charge. A visit to their New York shop is on my bucket list for when this pandemic ends ... which I hope is in the very near future.
Any experienced knitter has heard of Purl Soho, and so I was eager to visit this store when visiting NYC. I was not disappointed. Picked up 3 patterns, yarn for one of the patterns, quality circular needles, stitch markers and project bags. The employees who assisted me were all very helpful and even tho I was there very close to their closing time, offered to wind the yarn for me! That was really kind of them and much appreciated! Thanks for a great experience!
ZhaZha at Purl Soho went out of her way to help me knit the gusset of the Twisted Rib mittens. I am a “ pandemic “ knitter and she had the patience and kindness of a kindergarten teacher. I was given a zoom video call and she added graphs and numbered my needles. I cannot wait to finish my mittens to add to the lovely hat. I enjoy knitting with the beautiful yarns Purl Soho provides. I am totally “ hooked “Thank you ZhaZha.
Purl Soho customer service has the most knowledgable staff. Zha Zha, Kelsey and Ana were so patient with me. I just cant go anywhere else for fine yarn.
Great customer service!
This yarn store is good, really good. The yarn is beautiful, the patterns are well written and their customer service is the very best, they offer good advice, alternatives, help to solve problems or misunderstandings giving easy to follow instructions or alternatives when some instructions seem to be overwhelming. Great place to shop
First of all, I love the yarn! I have ordered several different weights, textures, material combinations and never disappointed in feel and workabilit. When Ive sent an email - response has always been timely.So, Purl Soho - you are my number 1!
Wonderful quality of product and customer service! My go to for top notch fibers.
I love Purl Soho yarns & free patterns. They send newsletters with the latest patterns & yarns. They are very prompt on shipping & delivery.
Love their yarn and patterns. The prices cover a wide range depending on your budget. They are very responsive and helpful with questions about patterns - wonderful customer service. Love their simple and elegant patterns.
Beautiful yarns and fabrics, along with interesting notions and timeless projects.If you can afford it, you will not be disappointed in what you find here. Many of their patterns are offered free in store and on their website. The materials are the bonus, though, so if you are going to spend hours knitting a blanket, making it with Purl Sohos Worsted Twist brings extra joy to the experience. Extremely high quality products, patterns that produce contemporary wearables and other goods, and knowledgeable staff all keep me coming back time and time again.From the Bobble Sheep Pillow to the Lovely Liberty Coin Purses, the combination of high quality materials and patterns produce reliable results.
I love Purl Soho -- I just love these delightful, creative people. Their products are superb. The yarns are distinctive and beautiful, and not the kinds of yarn you can find just anywhere. They sell splendid tools and notions. They invent charming patterns for garments and accessories. And their tutorials! Oh my! I am still quite a novice knitter, and I cant count how many times Ive been to Purl Soho to learn how to... any number of knitting stitches and techniques. Their tutorials are invariably clear, complete, and reassuring. Purl Soho is just a treasure!
Very helpful online support! And not just once, they helped me throughout the pattern.
I had to reach out to the customer service via the comment section and I received a response in about 10 minutes! This was amazing to me. They were very nice and were able to clear up my problem very quickly and easily.
Extremely pleased with the prompt service and with the ease and detail of the directions on the pattern!
The beauty of their textiles, the unique offerings of patterns (many free!) and the high level of customer service makes this my #1 go to for my luxury yarns. I had a health challenge awhile back and reached out to customer service with a question; they were kind, their answers prompt, and very helpful. LOVE Purl Soho!!
I have been purchasing from Purl Soho for a while and have always enjoyed receiving the beautifully-wrapped, gorgeous yarns. I also receive great customer service via email - for example: assistance in selecting a colorway or determining what weight yarn will complement another in a specific project. I work in a job that requires me to travel a lot. When living in a difficult and remote posting once, I organized an active (and fun!) knitting group. I advised beginner knitters in that group to order from Purl Soho with the idea that knitting with a scrumptious yarn would be much more motivational than learning with a frumpy yarn. I still endorse that policy! One day I may come visit Purl Soho in person – but it’s not necessary as I receive a wonderful shopping experience remotely.
Phenomenal customer service and quality products for the win!
Purl Soho has always been my go-to source whenever Im in need of a new project. Their patterns, many by Julie Hoover, are compatible with my knitting skills (intermediate) but always have a special touch that makes them interesting. Also their yarns are of top quality. I just finished what I call my pandemic sweater, Addison, knit in Purl Sohos Flax Down, which I love. I had knit the same sweater in the same yarn, different color, last year.Yesterday I went on line to place an order, knowing they were on lock down, so not expecting a quick response. Imagine my delight when later that evening I received an email from Anna telling me that my order would be shipped on Friday.Customer service at Purl Soho is beyond compare.
Had some trouble ordering online but after a couple of very prompt and helpful emails, it got sorted out and shipped the next day. Excellent customer service and products!
Purl Soho has been quick to reply to questions on products and patterns. Their yarn is absolutely heavenly—a joy to work with and wonderful to wear!
I love the variety and quality of the yarns at Purl Soho. The patterns are wonderful. Special touches in their patterns make the projects so much more interesting and the end results gorgeous. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I love this place and wish I lived above it for quicker acess!
Lovely selection of yarns unfortunately two of the three staff members I encountered were rude and unhelpful. Really ruined the experience of going out of my way to visit this shop when I was in NYC. The shop was also sold out if the specific yarn I came to buy too which is just bad luck. Shop had a hushed almost libary feel to it, not a great atmosphere.
Customer service is second to none! always willing to help and a fabulous selection of goodies....presently it is all online because of the pandemic but I was and will be a regular in the store(when it life returns to normalcy)! Thank you for operating during these nutty times!!!
The best yarn store I know! Very organised and clean store with amazing yarn. The people that work there are always ready to help.Great online customer service as well!
The very BEST customer service ever!!
Ordered from Purl Soho and it was here even with the pandemic and the snow and ice we freakishly got. Thank you.
Excellent customer service, beautiful yarn, what more could you ask for?
Wonderful customer service with on-line purchases delivered to Australia. Staff absolutely went above and beyond! Wonderful yarns I cant replicate here.
I ordered online and got a good deal on my purchase! I signed up for the newsletter and got 10% off my order, but forgot to put in the code at checkout. I emailed customer service and they gave me the discount right away! I’m very happy with my experience!
Beautiful yarn, delivered quickly. They are friendly and quick to respond to questions. A “go to” store for yarn!
I love their yarns! Great customer service!
Absolutely tops. I mailed by return to their NY store rather than the warehouse. They found it, sent it to the California warehouse and my exchange is on the way. They ALWAYS take time on the phone to answer questions and discuss.
I really love Purl SoHo’s yarns. A friend introduced me to them and since I have been buying for my mom who loves to knit. Since the pandemic I’ve been trying to keep her busy, but the last order has been delayed. The problem has been with the courier, but when I contacted Purl’s customer service, Jennifer provided exceptional support to address the problem. It’s not every day I come across this type of support. It’s very rare these days.
