Cast on for our free Bobble Edge Wrap knitting pattern with 20% off Cattail Silk yarn!Cast on for our free Bobble Edge Wrap knitting pattern with 20% off Cattail Silk yarn!

Effortlessly Elegant Silk

Cattail Silk is a 100% mulberry silk yarn with a wonderfully earthy texture and a casual spin. This fingering-weight yarn has a distinct texture with speckled little nubs of fiber that add depth and panache to your finished piece. Choose from a beautiful bouquet of colors to knit effortlessly elegant wraps, sweaters, and more. And with over 600 yards per skein, you’ll hardly ever need more than a handful!

Soft, Summery June Worsted

Joyful to knit and a delight to wear, June Worsted is a plush worsted-weight yarn that’s cool enough to keep wearing as the days lengthen. Made with 70% organically grown cotton and 30% Belgian linen, this endearing yarn has a slightly earthy character, and after a machine wash and dry, the already soft fabric gets even softer, taking on a gently brushed, lived-in look that will get better every summer!

A Simple Tee For Summer

An easy-to-knit cotton and linen tee soft enough for a hammock nap… Our Simple Tee knitting pattern is brimming with relaxed fun! This tee is a cinch to knit, all in stockinette stitch and nothing to slow you down. Cast on with our new June Worsted yarn, a summer-ready, plant-based yarn that somehow looks and knits like wool but feels breezy, cool, and light.

Socks, The Easy Way

It’s all in the name… Our Easy Heel Colorblock Socks are a no-stress way to dive into sock knitting, thanks to a clever heel construction that skips the fuss of short rows, heel flaps, and gussets. Enjoy a new, finer-gauge version of this beloved knitting pattern, now in our merino and nylon Fine Print sock yarn, bringing hand-printed color to every stitch!

Meet Estuary... Flowing With Hand-Dyed Beauty

Our new hand-dyed Estuary yarn is as full of life as the meeting place of river and sea. An exquisite single ply of fine merino wool, mulberry silk, and linen, this fingering-weight yarn has a light-on-the-water silken luster with a touch of wildness from the linen. Deep lagoons of color streaked by sand bars and swirling eddies... Every skein flows with its own unique beauty!

Knit Our Super Easy Baby Blanket In Morning

The Super Easy Baby Blanket concept is simple: garter stitch in seven stripes, one skein each. But somehow the sum of those parts is something quite wonderful... Lofty, soft, colorful and just right! Knit up in our Morning, a very special blend of 75% organically grown cotton and 25% yak, this classic blanket has a satisfying weight and an incredibly lovely hand, and it’s machine washable, too!

Santolina + Sweetgrass... Simply Charming!

Two yarns play beautifully together in our Sunday Dinner Dishtowels Bundle... All the yarn you need for a set of three towels! The main fabric of the dishtowels is Santolina, a durable but wonderfully soft mix of cotton, bamboo, and hemp, while the colorwork sings in our undyed cotton + alpaca Sweetgrass.

Tap Into Nature With The Free Droplet Blanket Pattern!

Like raindrops tracing a path down a window or honey dripping from the comb, the surface pattern of Ksenia Naidyon's free Droplet Blanket pattern carves a beautiful path through nature. Japanese wrapped stitches, easy to execute and exciting to learn, create the eponymous “droplets." It's simply gorgeous in our Santolina yarn, knit holding two strands of this fingering-weight yarn together!

A Super Giftable, Super Easy, Super Colorful Kit!

Our beginner-friendly Knit + Purl Washcloth Kit includes eight 25-gram balls of our Cotton Chirp DK yarn, bamboo knitting needles, a tapestry needle, and the printed knitting pattern... Everything you need to knit 8 washcloths. Give a fabulous gift to the knitters in your life, or knit a set of washcloths for yourself or someone you love!

Quartz, Yarn That Glows Like A Gem

Our Quartz yarn radiates mystery and beauty, seeming to hold nature's energy and emit its own light! This wonderful mix of 65% merino wool and 35% suri alpaca knits up into a fabric that is supple and amazing to touch, with a subtle halo and incredible luster. Choose from almost 30 gorgeous colors inspired by mineral, animal, and vegetable!

Over-The-Rainbow Fun

Follow your sense of adventure with our free Color Brick Road Blanket pattern, where every brick in the road is a beautiful surprise thanks to our vibrant Linen Quill Minis. You’ll work one column at a time, brick by brick, holding two different Minis together and knitting all in garter stitch... This wonderful whiz of a project couldn’t be more fun to knit!

Knit Our Glorious Alpenglow Blanket

Alpenglow is the word for the warm blush that sweeps across west-facing mountains just after sunset, a breathtaking light that contrasts with the surrounding cool of the darkening landscape. Our free Alpenglow Blanket knitting pattern takes its name from this natural wonder, exploring the rich spectrum of our inspiring 40-color Linen Quill Minis.

3 Balls Of Witch Hazel Equals 3 Adorable Washcloths!

Incredibly soft in 100% Pima cotton, our supremely cuddlesome Witch Hazel yarn is joyful to knit and creates a surprisingly fluffy and airy fabric that you won't be able to stop touching! Our 3-ball Witch Hazel Bundles are perfect for a set of color-coordinated washcloths: the warm tones of Seashell, Dune's sandy shades, and Fjord's fresh blues... So pretty!

All Your Questions About Worsted-Weight Yarn, Answered

You've knit with it, but do you really know it? Where did that name come from, and what's the difference between worsted weight and similar-but-different aran weight? Worsted-weight yarn is the cozy classic of the knitting world, and our guide will answer all your questions and more!

Nine-Note Bundles... Exquisite Yarn + Radiant Colors

Each Nine-Note Bundle is a carefully calibrated scale of nine skeins ranging from very pale to very saturated. This very special yarn is made from some of the finest merino in the world and the softest-of-the-soft baby alpaca. It’s bouncy and exquisitely soft, with beautifully complex palettes to play with... It must be experienced to be believed!

A Beautiful Story Of Second Chances

The Italian mill that makes Echo Cashmere collects excess fiber from the production process of cashmere sweaters and yarn and combines it with cashmere from recycled sweaters to make this beautiful fingering-weight yarn. Pick from a palette of earthy, heathered colors, each with an alluring depth that reflects the history of these recycled fibers, and cast on!

Knit A Simplicity Scarf

Our free Simplicity Scarf pattern is a gorgeous swath of stockinette that employs the fabric's natural curl to show the beauty of both the knit and purl sides... Stunning! This scarf requires only one or two balls of our Echo Cashmere yarn, depending on which size you knit. Either way, this recycled yarn is a more affordable way to enjoy the experience of knitting with one of the world’s softest fibers!

Our Essential + Appealing Daily Scarf

When you think “scarf,” you might think something like our Daily Scarf. A nice, wide swath of stockinette with a bit of 1x1 ribbing on the ends, it is quintessential and also elegant and light, breathable and warm. It appeals to any person, any day! Knit in our fingering- to sport-weight recycled cashmere yarn, Echo Cashmere, the fabric of this scarf is delicate and feather-light.

Knit A Color Study In Daily Wool

Our free Color Study Blanket knitting pattern uses yarn like paints on a palette, creating the illusion of mixing two colors to create a third. Our worsted-weight, machine-washable Daily Wool yarn, with its wide range of luminous colors, makes this painterly play possible, and our Color Study Blanket Bundles make it easy to find your favorite perfectly balanced hues!

I love Purl Soho knitting designs. They are simple, classic and beautifully architectural. Purl Soho offers lovely yarns, great customer service and on-line tutorials that are clear and to the point. Currently, I have a Striped Triangle Garter Wrap on my needles and yarn for another waiting in my stash. So many designs and not enough time!

 

Sharon Cutler

I absolutely love the variety of the beautiful yarns from Purl Soho. Every yarn I’ve tried has such a lovely hand feel that makes knitting with it a pleasure. Their patterns are easy to follow with detailed explanations. I still consider myself a novice and they give me the confidence to be adventurous. And if I have questions or concerns, Zha Zha responds in a timely manner. I only wish that I could still go to their store in person!

Purl Soho is elegant and down-to-earth.. . . and helpful. I discovered it by accident. And am delighted. Not only are the ads well presented and lovely but the patterns are honest. And the yarn, yarns: really useable and soooo many varieties. Maybe accidents aren’t accidents at all but happen for a reason. Lucky for me I bumped into Purl Soho.

Many thanks for your high quality products and highly responsive customer service as well as the great youtube instruction videos! Mastering brioche now!!

Purl Soho is without a doubt the best website for all things related to yarn crafting and more! I’ve been ordering yarn and knitting projects from Purl Soho for at least ten years and I’ve never been disappointed. The yarn is beautiful and their free patterns make it so easy! They’re always adding new projects that are modern and interesting. If I ever need help they have fantastic tutorials and if that’s not enough, one on one help is available. If you’re a beginner or a seasoned knitter you will love it!

I have been knitting for years.. but have never enjoyed it more or have been so satisfied by the outcome of my projects as I have been since I found Purl Soho. I have learned so much using their patterns and using their wonderful array of yarns… especially their yarns, their quality is exceptional. You pay a little more, but it is well well worth it. I am so happy that I found Purl Soho!!! I highly recommend you take the plunge… you will not regret it! To you Purl Soho… Thank you, I so appreciate your business … your interest in knitting and the quality of your products and outstanding personal customer service.

The team at Purl Soho have been so responsive and helpful when I've emailed a question. Not to mention friendly and human. The site is a joy to browse, with its inviting images and thoughtful, well-written descriptions. So much goes into their yarn creation and selection that I feel confident that anything I purchase will be exquisite.
