YarnCom

Secret Purl Society is exactly that... a secret! For the entire season, all collections are exclusive to SPS members. Each unique collection is inspired by fiber arts and that's as specific as we get! Whether it be knit, crochet, spin, weave, felt, etc., SPS collections are a great opportunity for us to highlight small businesses and local makers, and for you to push your creative boundaries.

What if the collection contains a craft you don't know how to do? Don't worry! We've added makers nights to serve as a class for each of the 4 collections! Or you can use your creativity and make something truly unique with the contents of the box!

Here is a peek into Season 1 collections to give you a hint of what we do in the Secret Purl Society!
