This is Purl Soho - a 'must visit' destination for most sewists, knitters and crafters visiting Manhattan.
Maybe you follow their blog The Purl Bee - it's inspirational, packed full of beautiful makes to get your creative juices flowing and their website is equally delicious to drool over.
Magazine photo shoot worthy but, although it's on my doorstep, I only seem to go to the store when crafty friends visit and then I play tourist for the day and drop by with them. Here're photos from one such visit for you to drool over too.
Purl Soho is open Mon-Fri 12-7 and Sat/Sun 12-6 at 459 Broome Street, Soho, Manhattan (212) 420 8796. Click through to see classes on offer.
For details of other fabric, yarn, trim and notion stores that I've visited around the world along with the NYC stores I love, exhibitions and events I've attended and wonderful people I've been lucky to meet click the links below or in my sidebar :D

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful store with lots of neat goodies! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteChrissie, I spied this on Connie's Linky Tuesday and knew it was you without even having to click the pic, LOL. Wow what a wonder this place is! I'm sending my daughter the link to your post so she can read it... she is sometimes in NYC and casting about for fun crafty things to do while she's there. Thanks for filling us in!
ReplyDeletePass your daughter this link to my NYC shopping page Lara, all my favourite stores are listed there - Chris :D
DeleteGorgeous. If I lived so close to a shop like this I would need a second job to keep me in fabric!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos. It would be hard to walk out of there without buying something.
ReplyDeleteOh my heart! It looks amazing. Lucky you to live so close. Is there another shop called City Stitcher there? When hubby and I go east to New Brunswick, I'd like to travel down and visit there. I'm sure it's close lol!
ReplyDeleteHi Carla, there is a store in Manhattan called The City Quilter I'm pretty sure that'll be the one you mean. Here's a link to my NYC shopping page, all my favourite stores are listed there, and there'll be plenty for you to do if you're visiting - Chris :D

ReplyDeleteHi Stephanie, I went back through my pics to see which fabric you meant and I'm pretty sure the fabric you'll be looking for is Citrus by Another Point Of View for Windham Fabrics - I have fabric from that line myself it's such a great basic - Chris :D
