Whether you’re a die-hard knitter or new to purl, elongated and plaited stitches, you’ve got a great reason to stroll along Queen East; The Purple Purl.
Opened by self-confessed hardcore knitters Miko Schechter and Jennifer Campbell in 2007, the store stocks knitting, crocheting, felting and spinning supplies, patterns and books. You can join in a range of classes that cover all levels or bring whatever you’re working on and just have a seat in the store for a knit and a chat. “We like the idea of being a spot which has a living room feel, where people can hang out and knit as well as get supplies,” says Miko. “We have just about everything you need for your knitting and crocheting.”
There’s even a small cafe on hand with hot and cold drinks and sweet snacks.
WOW!! What an amazing shopping experience. All the textures and colours are so intoxicating. The store is so clean and inviting, and the staff is awesome! Robbie is so knowledgeable and encouraging. This man really knows his stuff.
The prices are excellent for the quality of their product. This is THE best yarn/wool shop in all of T.O. I will definitely becoming a regular at this shop, and I would strongly recommend it to a friend.
