A great little trio of shops! I came primarily looking for yarn but worth noting there is also a…read morefabric store and a sewing store all located next to each other in the beautiful arcade. Made a point to stop here on my last day in Paris; the shop didn't open until 1p but thankfully it worked with my schedule. A large variety of yarn all made from natural fibers in several solid and variegated colors. Nothing too bulky, I would say most are sport or DL weight. I picked up three hanks of a locally sourced and dyed cashmere mohair blend and I'm excited to work with it although I'm not sure what I'm going to make yet! Shop owners speak English and are very helpful. Prices vary, it is definitely possible to get an affordable cake but I did splurge a bit as I'd rather have too much for my project than not enough. A worthwhile stop for knitters and crocheters.

The Service was very good, helpful staff, put together a project for me, and there is a lovely…read moredisplay of yarns

I love this place! While the vibrant colors and vast selection can be a bit overwhelming at first,…read morethe shop has a warm and welcoming vibe--especially for an American tourist who doesn't speak French. The clerk who helped me kept apologizing for not speaking English, even though I was the one visiting Paris without knowing French. Despite the language barrier, we got along wonderfully. I ended up purchasing 500 grams of recycled silk yarn. I look forward to returning to Paris and visiting this lovely shop again!

But what it has that Purl Soho doesn't is the interior structure and organization of a 19-20th century "mercerie". To top it off, the owner Raphaëlle is super smart and helpful. And her yarns are top-notch. Gotta love it.

Last year I decided to learn to knit. A friend gave me a brief tutorial as well as some of her…read moreleft-over yarn and needles with instructions to just go, go, go. I got through about 30 rows replete with holes, dropped stitches, extended edges, bulges and unwanted curves, and posted it proudly online. Someone commented "you need to start with bigger needles and yarn." And I looked down and realized that yes, I was working with impossible slim needles and way too fine a yarn for my amateur skills. Soon after I spotted this very cute knit shop while strolling through the 11th. I explained my predicament to the owner and showed her a picture of my tortured work and she steered me right to some larger needles (circular, she insisted) as well as some some soft, chunky, organic wool that was springy and easy to knit that she has in about 20 or so colors. What I really love about the store is that it's stocked with only really great yarns in mostly organic, natural fibers and the owner is clearly very passionate about knitting and is not shy when it comes to giving advice. Each time I've got there have been a few people sitting around a coffee table knitting and chatting.
