STORE HOLIDAY CLOSINGS:
In December, we’ll be closed from Monday, Dec. 22, through Friday, Dec. 26, but we’ll be open Dec. 27-28. We’ll also be closed New Year’s Day.
We want to connect with you, but we’ve come to the conclusion that “social media” is built to be antisocial. So we’ve built our own feed here (or as they used to be called, “blog,” lol). We’ll try to post most days that we’re open. If you want to be part of the conversation, join our Discord!
We include everyone at Purl’s, except people who are intolerant or hateful.

It’s cheating a little because our Shopify sales numbers started at 1001, not 1 (I guess like a new check register, for anyone who still writes physical checks). Still, It’s impressive to see after switching to this new system in early 2020. We’ve filled almost 4400 orders this year! Thanks for all your support.

Need a righteous hoodie? Luigi is a quick knit, done with 6 to 9 balls of chunky Jody Long Colourspun. You don’t need to have dreamy good looks or debatable ethics to wear it (but it doesn’t hurt). Free pattern with yarn purchase.

Last year we sold $8400 during the holiday weekend. That’s a lot for one person to handle! So we’re instituting a temporary fee that will help raise even more for BeLoved (on top of the 50 percent of all proceeds). If you don’t mind coming back another time, it’s still free.

Thanks to the shout-out from the Wool and Wine podcast (at 1:06:00 or so), featuring our Science Yarn, Medicine colorway. It’s incredible how many projects these three knitters can finish (especially when they get a little tipsy, lol)!

Our DK weight hand dyed “Yarn Dick” comes in 10 colors and is only $18 per 246-yard skein. But the REAL fun is the $2 booklet that contains two detective stories, one from our previous batch (solution included) and this Year’s “Murder While Cruising.” If you solve this murder, you can win a free skein of yarn! Each color comes with an extra clue inside the ball band. So consider giving the gift of Dick this holiday season.

Boring Beige this year, plain-ass white next year? It’s like you don’t even want to be in the color business anymore. Are you blinking in morse code? Maybe your meds need to be adjusted? Whatever is going on with you, we’re not taking color advice from your sorry ass.

We finally have a lighted pylon sign! (The word “emporium” wouldn’t fit, but you can’t have everything.)

Don’t know if Elizabeth and I will make it (Tuesday afternoon is reserved for naps), but it sounds like fun!
