While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Purlescence is an independent UK yarn shop with a big love for colour, quality and the joy of making. Based in the heart of England, we've been helping knitters and crafters find their perfect yarn since 2006 — from first-project beginners to seasoned pattern collectors who know exactly what they want (and a few things they didn't know they needed). We stock a carefully curated range of hand knitting yarn, with a particular soft spot for hand-dyed and premium yarns that make your hands happy and your projects sing. You'll find beautiful British wool from West Yorkshire Spinners and the legendary Shetland yarns of Jamieson & Smith, alongside the luminous hand-dyed skeins of Fyberspates — plus the ChiaoGoo needles that knitters worldwide quietly swear by. Shopping with us means real recommendations from people who actually knit. We're passionate about what we sell, honest about what works, and genuinely delighted when a customer falls in love with a new yarn or discovers their next favourite brand. We believe knitting is about more than just the finished object — it's the process, the community, the colour decisions at 11pm, and the quiet joy of yarn that feels exactly right in your hands. That's what Purlescence is here for.

Fab company. Brilliant customer service. Nothing is too much trouble. I messed up my online order so had to call and sort out my mistake. Lovely people sorted out the mix up on the spot. Highly recommended!
Purlescence is a lovely online yarn boutique, clearly curated & managed by someone, Sarah, who loves yarn & knitting. My lusciously soft, hard-to-find Fyberspates yarn 🌈🧶 arrived very quickly & carefully wrapped. The whole transaction was very smooth. Highly recommended! 😊👍👍
