At Purl Soho, we design and sell exceptional yarn for knitting, crochet, and other fiber arts. Our online yarn store is a trusted source for makers around the world, offering exclusive hand-knitting yarns, beautiful knitting patterns, and out-of-this-world customer service. Whether you’re just starting out or have been knitting for decades, we’re here to support and inspire you every step of the way!

From our early days in 2002 as a tiny shop in New York City’s Soho neighborhood, our mission has remained the same: to welcome all makers and provide the guidance and confidence to help you create things you never thought possible.

We know that knitting and crafting bring deep fulfillment, and we want that for you. That’s why we offer free 1-on-1 Help, tons of free video tutorials, and an open invitation to ask questions in our pattern comments or via email. Our team is here to answer you quickly, to share in your successes, and to help solve any challenges—because supporting your creative journey is at the heart of what we do.

Our exclusive Purl Soho yarns are available only through us, designed with care to bring exceptional color, touch, and beauty to your projects.

We work closely with partners around the world to develop yarns that honor traditional craftsmanship, respect animals and the environment, and support local communities. Whether it’s the earthiness of fine Highland wool from the Andes, the crisp elegance of French-grown linen, or the unparalleled softness of 100% Mongolian cashmere, we seek out the finest natural fibers to bring joy to your hands and needles.

A great project starts with great materials—but also with great design. That’s why we share hundreds of free knitting patterns, thoughtfully created by our in-house designers and talented contributors from the worldwide knitting community.

Our patterns are designed to be clear and approachable, helping you build skills while making something beautiful. Need extra help? Explore our free video tutorials, check out project-specific tips, or reach out—we’re always happy to assist.

Our yarn collection evolves over time, with exciting new yarns and colors regularly added. If a favorite yarn is discontinued, just search its name on our site for details and suggested substitutes.

Most importantly, we love seeing what you make! Tag us on Instagram, leave a comment, or send us an email—we can’t wait to celebrate your creativity.
