On the agenda was of course seeing all the sights, eating some nice food and as a knitter one that was non-negotiable – visiting Purl. I can only recommend visiting this shop.

The yarn and knitting accessories in stock was a true treasure, the atmosphere was friendly and the staff was very helpful – even though not all the knitting advice I received was the best. I would not hesitate to visit Purl again when I come back to New York.

Apart from nice views, cable cars and nice food San Francisco also offers the opportunity to explore the city and its many nice areas through yarn shops. There are several nice shops in San Francisco, but I would recommend Urban knitting studio, Artfibers, Noe Knit and ImagiKnit. They will not only tempt you with nice yarn, book and accessories, but also show you some nice part of the city.
