| - The Purl is a great shop. Jen and Miko (the owners) are lovely, and always friendly.
There is almost always a group of knitters sitting in the store, working away on their projects, drinking coffee or tea, and munching on one of the delicious treats (try the smores square!) I've always found this group to be friendly and welcoming - walk in, pull up a chair, and start knitting!
Their selection of yarn is extensive - they've got loads of sock yarn (Tanis, Malabrigo, Viola, Indigodragonfly, just as a sampling,) and that's just when you walk in. The rest of the store is equally well-stocked, and Jen or Miko can always help you find what you're looking for.
Their pattern selection is excellent - the binders in the bookshelves up front are *full* of single patterns, including Anne Hanson of KnitSpot, GlennaC, Kate Atherley, Amy Swenson, and many, many others.
The class offerings are extensive - knitting, crochet, spinning, with excellent teachers. The classes are held down a flight of stairs, but everything else in the shop is accessible.
