It’s that time of year again when we wipe down shelves and sweep up dust bunnies. It’s spring cleaning, and at our online store we’re knee deep in it! We’re making room for new spring goodies by saying goodbye to some of last year’s beloved products, including beautiful merino and silk yarns, tons of amazing fabrics from our favorite companies, gorgeous hand painted needlepoint canvases, and more. So if your spring cleaning includes organizing your craft room (or corner!), be sure to make a little space for some fresh inspiration!

Yarn

Don’t miss some very special yarns that are now on sale, including select colors of Koigu’s KPM and KPPPM! A customer favorite, stock up for a rainy day, or grab a few skeins for our classic Easy Baby Pullover for Babies, Toddlers and Kids and a few more for Coco’s Bobble Dress, just right for spring!

Starting today, you’ll also find on sale Habu’s stunning Tsumugi Silk and Manos Del Uruguay’s pure and rustic Naturals. Plus, browse our regular sale yarns, like Anzula’s Inyo, Be Sweet’s Handspun Merino, Abstract Fiber’s Merino Tencel Roving and more!

P.S. Wow! We’ve had a nearly overwhelming response to this sale. Thank you so much! But now we need to get busy processing all of these orders so they get to your door, so on Thursday, April 19 our California warehouse will be closed to the public. Our website will still be up and running and so will our New York City store and the Purl Bee!
