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!)

They helped me choose a project and went out of their way to order two colors for me. When i had family issues that caused a delay in picking it up, they held the bag for me for a few months and were kind and welcoming when i finally was able to retrieve it. Definitely a revisit for me when i'm in the area!!

If I had known this was going to be the case I would have never signed up. When I went back to return my unused yarn and complained they provided me with another name to call - I have already out $148 - no thank you very disappointed.

I know absolutely nothing about yarn or knitting. However, I needed to pick up a gift for a friend…read morewho is *very* much into it so I dropped by The Blue Purl while visiting Madison. 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.

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 left the business and definitely have no intention on supporting unkind people. Shame very cute store, but not worth the treatment.

I'm only giving one star because I can't give it zero. I was told my service dog could not enter…read morethe store. If I was to order yarn and arrive for a pick up, he would not be allowed in. I informed the store this is again the ADA (Under the ADA, State and local governments, businesses, and nonprofit organizations that serve the public generally must allow service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the facility where the public is allowed to go.) The woman told me she knows nothing about that but he can't come in. I will shop somewhere else. I respectfully disagree with the owners response. I understand the store is closed due to Covid. Unfortunately the conversation did not go as you are reporting. I was specifically told that my dog was not allowed in the store. There was no mention of me not entering, only that my dog could not. There was no mention of curbside pickup.
