Summer 2026
Purl Joy is a passion project founded by Kristin Cantwell as a space where fiber artists of all levels can Create, Connect & Be Happy!
Her dream is that Purl Joy grow into a dedicated space for those who find peace in the rhythm of crafts - especially knitting - and the beauty of natural fibers and quality supplies.
Until we find a permanent home, you can join Purl Joy for events this summer in and around Bethany Beach, DE and shop online.
