Purl's Yarn Emporium In Asheville North Carolina Is A Dream Come True

Those zany Ashevillians. What will they do next? If you haven’t found your way to tiny Wall Street (it’s just shy of two blocks long) in Downtown Asheville in a while, you may be delighted to find yourself in awe of some particularly creative yarn bombing. Wall Street’s Purls Yarn Emporium and its crafty followers may have had a little something to do with it.

Purl's Yarn Emporium opened on Wall Street in 2008 and has been changing the landscape for yarn enthusiasts ever since. Last November, a bunch of yarn lovers banded together to cover the light poles on Wall Street — *with yarn* — and the result was well... keep reading... up close shots of the poles will follow as we tell you more about this amazing yarn store.

Once inside Purl's Yarn Emporium, you'll find a mountain of yarn and accessories.

Underneath this one roof the yarn runs from one end of the yarn making spectrum to the other. From being curated from the coats of animals on local farms to yarns from all over the USA and around the world, the yarns here are among the best you'll find.

Who knows WHAT you can do — *with just the right yarn?*

Whether you are a Crocheting Cathy or a Knitting Katherine, you're sure to find everything you're looking for in this massive yarn barn, including some friendly lessons, in case you want to brush up on your skills.

And then who knows? Maybe the next bear cub making its way down a lightpole (or a tree in your own yard) will be yours.

By the way, the light posts aren't the only things on Wall Street that get covered with kooky yarn creations! It's positively impossible for us to love this whole yarn bombing notion any more than we already do.

If you're not exactly into the latest trend of covering the tree, the mailbox, the front door, or anything else with wacky yarn creations, or perhaps you want to learn how to knit or crochet so you CAN do all of these wacky things and more...

then, by all means, get yourself over to Purl's Yarn Emporium on Wall Street.

And here's one more yarn-covered light post for added inspiration...
