They had only opened a short while ago, and the shop was beautifully laid out with simple, black shelves for the yarn. It really set off the colors, and allowed you to browse through the yarn without being distracted. There was a nice mix of basic and more high-end yarns, and I even won a door prize!
Here's what I left with - f
rom left to right: Cascade Pure Alpaca (absolutely lovely and soft - and part of my prize!), Debbie Bliss Pure Cotton (equally lovely, and the rest of my prize!), Cascade Heritage Handpainted Sock Yarn (I'm always a sucker for handpainted yarn), and Cascade Sassy Stripes (the kids both picked out the same yarn for socks).I've never won yarn before, and let me tell you, it just makes it that much more lovely!

Too often, you'll say something like "No, I don't need anything" and skip a nice treat for yourself. BT, MS and I were really happy you decided to stop at Black Purls. You had it coming. I don't know who was more excited about winning a yarn door prize - you or the kids!
Ah congrats! Very nice--and I like the way that blue is knitting up!
