We’d like to thank everyone who made it out to the first annual NYC Yarn Crawl! Thanks to you it was a smashing success! It was so much fun to see old friends and meet new friends too. It’s truly inspiring to see all of the enthusiastic knitters out there – people of all ages from all around the world! We feel so lucky to have such vibrant and creative customers.
One of the most exciting parts of the Crawl at Purl were our raffles! We gave away some great prizes to some great folks. Here is a list of the winners and what they won (they’ve been notified and are all very excited!)… drum roll please…..

ohhh, great prizes…I wish I was in NYC.
Ever so very lovely prizes. To be honest, I came to NYC last weekend, not knowing about the yarn crawl, and I could not have been more delighted in checking out your store. It might just be my favourite shoppe in NYC 🙂
Thanks guys!
Thanks Purl! I do feel like a winner! You are totally my favorite yarn shop in NYC! The staff is always super helpful and nice. I really appreciate the way everything is displayed so you can see all the beautiful colors – very inspiring. I hope the nice guy who helped me on Monday and worked all 4 days of the crawl has had a good rest!
Wow – from the comments, your shop is definitely going to be on my itinerary on my next trip to New York!
We have a couple of fairly good shops on O’ahu based on (1) friendliness and helpfulness of the owner/staff and (2) the yarns available, but it sounds like you have THE shop to experience!
It was great to visit purl during the yarn crawl! You have a great shop and I hope I’ll make it back next year :0)
i was visiting ny for the weekend from minneapolis and was so happy to finally visit purl! what a cute little shop. and i was so happy to get a sweet tote bag.
