We have prizes! We have goodies! We have products you will love! We can’t wait to see you, starting tomorrow and running to Sunday. Whether you visit one shop or all thirteen, you are sure to have a good time. Spring Fling is almost here!

We’re closed all day Friday as an economic protest against (gesticulates wildly at everything). We’ll meet up between 3 and 3:30 in the Purl’s parking lot to carpool to the latest No Kings demonstration downtown. Join us if you can. It’s good to be together and show that we can build something better.

For us, every day is Local Yarn Store day. Because the WNC Yarn Crawl comes up so soon, we don’t have the bandwidth to do anything special today. But every day that we’re open, we strive to provide you with great yarns, great service, help, classes, inspiration, and community. We like to think that every day at Purl’s is something special. So join us today, for the Crawl, or any other “normal” day! We’d love to see you.

The knitting is done, but I still need to trace out the constellations by embroidering with silver thread. I’m working on correcting and coordinating all the charts and collecting materials for the kits. Still trying to think of a good name for it. Let me know if you have ideas.

Come up to A-B Tech from 10 to 3 and craft with us, check out other great groups like RemixItAVL, Repair Cafe, Makerspace, Society for Creative Anacronism, Glitch 2.0, and lots more! Fun for all ages.

We got to meet Erik Iverson at the RemixitAVL pre-opening, and he was telling us about one of his projects. We’re hoping to get one installed next to Purl’s. It’s so wonderful to see people who dream up a wonderful idea and then birth it into existence.

It must be a yarn dyeing day.

RemixItAVL is opening in East West Asheville very soon! Come to Maker Faire and say hello to the Purl’s crew and the Remixit folks, as well as all the cool maker people from all over the area!

Sorry if you missed us or missed the chance to go on our retreat this year. We had a fun time with a murder mystery, crocheting, hiking, knitting, spinning, games, yarn dyeing, tasty food and all kinds of general wackiness. Join us next time. There was even talk of maybe adding a fall retreat sponsored by the Craft Underground.

There are lots of ways to join our community, and the retreat is just one way! Come hang out with us at one of our stitch groups or other events. We never have enough friends and connections. You are welcome here!

I wouldn’t do this against except for the fact that there are a bunch of sheep in it! Can’t wait for the new album on Friday.
