KEEP IN TOUCH
Please join us in crafting a better world, with your whole self and all your hyperfixations. We’re better together!
Every crafter knows that you can’t make much with only a couple of stitches: anything useful takes lots of work. At Purl’s we all come together to make something bigger. It’s a place for people to swap yarns, patterns, and projects, to get and give advice, ideas, and hugs. We offer yarns that are beautiful, soft, and interesting, from around the world or just around the mountain—yarns with stories. If you’ve been dropped, frogged, ripped out, or reworked (like all the rest of us)—come get stitched together with us at Purl’s Yarn Emporium.
Purl’s opened in 2005 on College Street in downtown Asheville, then moved in 2008 to Wall Street. We bought the shop in 2010 and moved to our current location in 2021.
Elizabeth (a.k.a. “lizabee” on Ravelry) grew up in a yarn store, Happy Hooker’s, which was owned by her mother, Bonnie, back in the San Fernando Valley in California. Elizabeth feels called to help people find ways to express themselves creatively and considers crafting and mending integral to our humanity.
Rik (a.k.a. “purlinsbeard” on Ravelry) knits, crochets, teaches, and does the yarn dyeing of our in-house yarns. He previously worked in publishing in New York. He loves teaching people to craft and has self-published an e-book, The Magic (and Science) of Double Knitting.
