One of the most warm and welcoming yarn stores I've been to! Theresa, the owner, made me feel like…read moreI belonged from the moment I stepped in. This has happily become my local yarn store. It's a real community spot. The yarn selection ranges from standard go-tos like Berroco and Plymouth, to lovely stuff from Malabrigo and Juniper Moon Farm, to indie hand-dyes. The trend seems to be toward fashion colors and styles. I'm not exactly a fashionista myself, and I still find it easy to leave with creative choices. Especially because everyone there has been so willing to help me discover something I can't wait to knit or crochet up. Right now it's a super yummy pima cotton dk yarn I'm using for a shawl, and next up I have a cozy soft 100% recycled yarn for a cardigan. (And while prices at some LYSs can get scary sometimes, they seem to have really reasonable pricing.) PS: Parking in Union can be tough, but if the adjacent smaller lots are full, there's also a big municipal lot behind the Dollar Tree. (You can walk through for a shortcut! Buy yourself a soda!)

As far as I could see, before I was abruptly shown the door, the yarn selection was a lot of cheap and tacky Cascade product. Save your money and go to a yarn store where the management actually wants to make money.

It was an ok visit. No one greeted me upon entering. No one asked if I needed help. I guess it was…read moretoo close to closing time for them to bother. The yarn selection was nice but I'm no pro so I could have used all the help I could get- which was none. However, someone was sure ready to ring me up when I arrived at the register.

For a small store they really had something for everyone, including some funny bags and lots of notions. I visited mid-week during the day and got parking right across from the shop. I'm not familiar with the area, but the parking looks like it might be a pain if there is a lot of snow or more shoppers in town, but definitely worth the effort to find parking. I'm plannintrip back!

I am very happy I did! The Blue Purl is a beautiful shop. It looks like you're hanging out in someone's beautiful den (who just happens to LOVE knitting with TONS of yarn on shelves). Here's the brilliant part: The Blue Purl has several preset kits you can buy as gifts. Each one includes all the yarn you will need with a card or paper inside with color photos showing you what the end product will look like. This was *perfect*! I wound up finding a set and it made for a super easy purchase. One more fun thing: the shop owners will also wind the yarn for you at no additional cost. This is probably old hat for knitters but for me this was a very cool thing to witness so I had some fun too! I highly recommend The Blue Purl if you need gifts for a knitter or need supplies for yourself.

Fast forward to now, I am a Celebrity fashion designer and I will always spend my money at this location for as long as they are open.

I went from just flat knitting and purling to hats, sweaters,lace and blankets. My confidence has grown to the point I can handle most projects to completion all by myself.
