The Purl Bee’s Best of 2013! | Purl Soho

What?! Another year gone by? Impossible! It seems a year slips by in a blink, and in its wake we find a treasure trove of Purl Bee projects, some almost forgotten, they seem so long ago.

The Purl Bee’s Best of 2013! | Purl Soho

This past year on the Bee we found tons of inspiration from, not one, not two, but three new Purl Soho yarns. To the Super Soft Merino collection-of-one, we added Worsted Twist, Line Weight and Alpaca Pure. Each one came with its own special properties: Worsted Twist’s classic heartiness, Line Weight’s soft elegance and Alpaca Pure’s decandence, these incredible yarns could only turn into incredible projects! Remember these?
