I am disappointed in the yarn

I am disappointed in the yarn, very difficult to knit with, color bleeds onto fingers and other clothing, and the fibers shed.

Reply from Purl Soho

We are very sorry that your experience has been so disappointing. Looking at your order history, we understand that you are referring to our Blackbird Linen, and we’re very concerned to hear that the dye is rubbing off since there should be no color transfer at all with this yarn. We are refunding you for these skeins right now but would also love to send you complimentary replacement yarn if you’d like to try again with a batch that does not have this dye transfer issue or even send you something else entirely if you’d like to try another yarn. We’ll reach out to you directly from customerservice@purlsoho.com to follow up on this, so please keep an eye out for that!

It is true that linen yarn can be more difficult to work with because it is an inelastic fiber, and because of this it is not everyone’s favorite, but some people truly enjoy working with it. We appreciate you letting us know about your experience, and we hope we can help you find a yarn you love!

The yarn is sooo lovely!

The yarn is sooo lovely!! Pretty accurate to listing photos and I'm happy with the 2 different types i bought for projects! The mini skein gift is a really lovely addition and nice way to try with low commitment! I've already started a knitting project with my new linen quill yarn and love working with it!

Loving the Oleander

Loving the Oleander; knitting up a little summer weight color work sweater (Alpine Bloom by Caitlin Hunter). I was a little skeptical about the Witch Hazel for a washcloth, but it's my new favorite, better than the old Home Life. Super fluffy, but dries in a jiff so no worry about that mildewy smell. Great customer service, very nicely packaged.

Prompt service

My order arrived promptly and questions also answered promptly. I would love to see more crochet patterns and notions. I am not a knitter

Great customer service

Allison has been very responsive to my questions about color, putting together suggestions so I could see the contrast between different colors and generally guiding me through the composition of my Christmas stocking. Because of her help, I am about to place my order.

Love the yarn I purchased

Love the yarn I purchased! Making cotton/linen washcloths for guests at a bridal luncheon. The yarn is a wonderful weight and so easy to work with. Perfect color for the wedding party. Ordering was a breeze and it arrived quickly!

Colors on websight not accurate

Yarn is lovely , websight of colors terrible so a lot of pricey postage back and forth . Used to be on east coast (ny) now in CA . Cost me $20 to return 6 skeins of color issues of yarn .

If you ever need to make a return, too, we can also provide a complimentary shipping label! Your happiness is really important to us, and we'll keep a careful eye out for your email.

I love my purl soho yarn

I love my purl soho yarn. I hate that you sent me a sample of yarn to make the bobble blanket though!!!! It’s so pretty, so I am going to have to buy the yarn and the pattern. Just sending it, and letting me touch it, tricked me into wanting to buy it. I guess I’ll have to suck it up and love it!!! Lol. Just kidding, it’s so beautiful. Thanks for sending it.
Sincerely,
Marta Dulfer
