I had the wonderful experience of using their regular worsted weight yarn. It was so wonderful that I decided to try the lace weight.
I purchased 2 skeins (about 400 yards per skein) last month and decided to use it yesterday.
As I was very gently hand winding it it kept breaking . I gave up. I can't imagine knitting with it.
I have another skein I would love to return but don't have receipt anymore.
Just wanted to warn anyone who might want to purchase this beautiful looking yarn.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you think it would do any good to e-mail the company? Maybe you just got a bad batch?

Joan,
You must've bought it from Purl, because I think we might be the only store who has it... It is a delicate yarn, but it makes an incredible fabric. You may have got a funny batch. I'm happy to exchange both skeins for you if you'd like. Please call the store and ask for me, or if I'm not there ask for Isabelle and explain that I said it would be alright. We're open today!

Joelle, you ROCK.

Joelle, are you open on Sundays? I would love to visit your store when I am in NYC. Are you open Christmas Eve? Christmas is so hectic it's hard to find time for anything but doing Christmas, so I may have to wait until another time.
What's the closest subway stop to your store? Preferably IRT. I would be coming from Grand Central (my family lives in Yonkers).
I've been so impressed by your responses here that I would love to visit your store.

I was going to tell you about it when I came in.
I totally botched up the first skein but was wondering if I should try winding the other....
It is just beautiful. First I thought it was my tension of winding it but I was putting less tension on it than when I knit.
In fact, if I remember correctly, I am the one who told you about the yarn originally.
Thanks for offering the exchange. I might stop by this weekend.
I do not hold you or your wonderful staff at fault. I knew if I contacted you you would rectify it!
Happy Thanksgiving

Yes, Joelle does rock but, she is my sister so I knew that!
I wanted to let Anita know that yes, we are open on Sundays - we are open every day, in fact! Regular hours are Monday - Friday 12 - 7 and Weekends 12 - 6. I can't give directions since I run the webstie from California and would surely get youlost but, call the store and they will be ahppy to direct you!
Also, we will be open on Christmas Eve but, may leave early so, try to get there in the earlier part of the day!
Happy Knitting,
Jen

Great info on Purl
I take the bus down there and found the nearest subway is the N or R to Prince Street but there might be something nearer
Didn't realize it was now open on Mondays

| The closest subway stop to Purl is the Spring Street stop on the C or E line - walk 1 block east and 1-1/2 blocks north. From Grand Central, you can take the #6 train to its Spring St. stop and walk west about 7 or 8 blocks to Sullivan and then 1-1/2 blocks north to the shop(short blocks, and interesting sights along the way). |

Next time I'm in NYC Purl will definitely be on my itenerary! Love the Purl scarf! I'm knitting one now in a beautiful handspun wool and Kidsilk Haze and a verigated mohair from Lang whose name I forget.
