Superb customer service

Superb customer service. I ordered a cone and a skein of the same yarn and was contacted immediately about dye lots. The shipment was prompt. The cotton pure yarn is great. I wish I had known I could have the skein wound. It was a little bit of a challenge without a winder.

Thank you so much for your kind review! Even though we weren't able to wind for you this time, you can always request this free service in the future by leaving us a note in the “Special Instructions” box at checkout, and we’ll take care of that for you right away. We're so glad that you're a fan of your new yarn even with that winding trouble, and we hope you make something wonderful with it!

My Purl Soho family

Purl Soho is like dealing with a big family (that you get along with).
I've emailed a couple of times to remind me that the price of ordering metal needles could increase by 25% due to tarrifs.

Their selection of fibers is unmatched.

Their customer service associates are second to none and are always looking out for the customer. They're the best.

Keen to purchase a pattern as a one-off to download I hit a bank transaction issue so I contacted Purl Soho customer service. The customer service rep replied promptly and gave practical advice (small amounts can mean banks flag these purchases). Excellent support.

Great yarn

I love the yarn I received and can’t wait to get started. I have been happy with everything I have purchased as well as the assistance I get if needed. Kept it up.

Great quality yarn!

Great, quality yarn! I ordered the Knitting Yarn DK Cone, and it was a great choice for the Cocoon Cardi pattern--no ends to weave in (except at the beginning and end)! I still have enough leftover to equal about two skeins of DK yarn, so I'm excited to use it for something else!

I immediately cast on and am making great progress on my towel! Everything I have ever ordered from Purl Soho has been beautifully packaged with fast delivery. Their yarn is a delight! And I appreciate the well written patterns AND all the questions and responses at the end!

Customer service that went genuinely above and beyond

I've been a Purl Soho customer for years and have always appreciated the quality of their yarns and patterns, but my recent experience took my loyalty to a different level.

I've been knitting for over four decades but had some struggles with their Botanical Yoke Pullover. Back in 2020 I made the sweater using a yarn substitution I chose myself. It didn't go well and I had to frog the whole thing.

I chose to give it another go this year and, taking advantage of a sale, I used their recommended yarn substitute for the original pattern yarn, but ran into a row gauge mismatch that was going to require significant pattern modification to make it work. When I reached out to their customer service to ask about modifying the yoke, I expected generic advice or a polite deflection.

Instead, their Customer Service Manager, went to their design team directly to get me a specific, expert modification recommendation. Beyond that, she proactively offered a refund on the substitute yarn that wasn't working for me, sent a complimentary skein of the original pattern yarn so I could swatch and see whether that would solve the problem at its source, and included a generous gift card to apply toward the original yarn if I decided to switch.

This is what good customer service actually looks like: listening carefully, getting real expertise involved, and making a customer whole in a way that doesn't feel transactional. They turned what was becoming a frustrating experience into one I feel genuinely grateful for.

If you're hesitating to spend money on their yarn or patterns because of the price point, know that the support behind it is the real deal. They stand behind their products and their recommendations in a way that's increasingly rare. I just ordered enough of the original pattern yarn to complete my sweater, as it is working up nicely. I couldn't be more thrilled.

I recently ordered Purl Soho Dk Cone

I recently ordered Purl Soho Dk Cone. Wow! I really like the cone. I can grab my needle’s and cone sit down and knit until my arms tire out. I will be buying the Purl Soho Cones for all my big projects.

Excellent Customer Service

I've ordered from Purl Soho a couple of times and I always get exactly what I expect, when I expect it. I feel like they make a lot of effort to represent colors accurately on their website and the quality of the yarn always lives up to the premium price. But this week their customer service really went above and beyond to help me out so I can finish a gift on time. So many of our commercial interactions are with big, soulless corporations these days, where you're lucky to get an automated response. You can imagine my surprise when I heard from an actual person! Zha Zha found what I was looking for, set it aside for me, and made sure I'd be able to receive it in time to finish the gift I'm working on. I really appreciate the excellent customer service! I will definitely be shopping with Purl Soho again in future.

5 star experience

The employees at Purl SoHo are amazing! I ran out of yarn that had been discontinued and they were able to check their stock and send me more of the same color. Now I am able to finish my sweater. I can't thank them enough!
