At the beginning of 2007, I decided to leave the corporate world where I had been spending the last few decades.  With the support of my loving husband, Frank, and the encouragement of my friends and family, I made the decision to launch Fresh Purls where I can have direct contact with those that share my passion for beautiful and unique yarns.

Our Philosophy

Fresh Purls is a yarn and knitting shop that is run and operated by individuals that actually knit on a regular basis.  We strive to offer knitters of all types an affordable, yet unique knitting experience by providing an array of yarns and knitting supplies along with classes in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere at the retail shop or an easy and attractive shopping experience on the web.

We are seeking out global suppliers of yarn to bring the most innovative, unique, and socially conscientious products to our customers.  We want to share ideas, designs, triumphs and failures with our customers, in order to establish a network of individuals with similar passions and goals.

We look forward to seeing you – Karen & Helen
