I did a mistake in my order

I did a mistake in my order, ordering more yarns than I need. I wrote a message and very soon I had an answer and a proposal to modify mu order and to reimbourse me. What was done the following days.

Such beautiful yarn!

Such beautiful yarn!
Everything about the Purl Soho experience is smooth. Ordering online, tracking the delivery, and oh, that beautiful squishy yarn! Thanks so much to the staff for being such a great shop. I buy yarn other places online as well, and Purl Soho is one of the shops that I am never disappointed with. The yarn is always great, and Customer Service has always been super helpful with questions. I need to buy more yarn from Purl Soho!

Cotton Pure is the gold standard

I use a lot of cotton yarn and find the Cotton Pure to be a wonderful treat. It may cost a bit more than some others but I have hand towels and wash cloths made from Cotton Pure that I have been using for close to 10 years.

The cotton yarn is great for making the bags, but I bought extra because your ad stated that it was fine for a baby blanket. I'm in the middle of making one, and probably this cotton yarn wasn't a good choice. It creates a fairly rough texture. I think this wasn't a good recommendation; something softer would have been better.

Reply from Purl Soho

We're so sorry that our yarn fell short on softness for your baby blanket project. We want you to feel totally satisfied and are happy to offer you a refund on your yarn or a replacement... whichever works best for you!

We'd also like to note that many cotton yarns, including the one you bought, soften up significantly after laundering, so you might want to try gently machine washing your bag to see if it ends up how you'd want your baby blanket to feel... There's a good chance it will!

Either way, we've emailed you from customerservice@purlsoho.com to discuss a return or replacement order, so please be on the lookout for our email, and thank you again for your feedback!

Nice yarn

The color of the yarn matched what I saw on the website. The yarn arrived timely and I love it. The yarn is a blend though mostly cotton. I generally don't like knitting with cotton - there's no elasticity - but I'm not bothered by that with this yarn.
