A big thx to all the Friends of The Purl

You guys saved my everloving knitting and crocheting butt if ya wanna know. I was on the very eve of destruction as the song goes. Now to keep us going and stayin alive stayin alive you must keep coming in and take a class or teach a class and buying yarn to keep the Purl here in Silverton. That's the only way it works for us to have the kind of shops we want and need in our lives. Homegrown, surviving and thriving that's us.

News from the Purl!

Howdee!

It's fall and the knitters are running rampant. TK and her gang have come up with another winner. Check out the naked sheep.com for the free cupcake hat pattern. It's a girly girl kid hat. Anyone make it for adults? We made it out of Plymouth's Cleckheaton pink DK AND CREAM PUNTA LAVA AND some fluffy Fizz from Crystal Palace. Use brown for chocolate and how about beading the top with bugle beads for sprinkles. A Cherry is a red felted ball...Beyond cuteness. I'll put a pic up soon.

Felted Animal Artist, Renee Andes, displays her hand made animal collection which includes goats, cats, dogs, horses and bears.  

You can make your own! Learn how and pick up supplies at the Purl District.

Make this hat using Encore worsted weight yarn with the Mission Falls striped hat pattern.

This hat was created my Grandma Laurie Chadwick.

Create a stuffed toy!  This one is an original design by the artist, but the Purl District has a plentiful supply of toy patterns to choose from!   

Just thought this was spectacular and that everyone needed to see it!
