Welcome to The Twisted Purl

Located in Conway, Arkansas, The Twisted Purl is a working studio creating Felted Soaps, handspun yarn, carded batts, and other fiber creations. The original Twisted Purl was formed in 2007, by Cyndi Minister. She wanted to see more color combinations and textures in the yarn industry. After perfecting the spinning and dyeing process, the company evolved from handspun yarn production into the wonderful world of felting.

The company began its handcrafted process of creating Felted Soaps by making and selling one at a time to customers. Today, The Twisted Purl makes hundreds of Felted Soaps daily and can be found in countless stores, beautiful boutiques, and retail shops worldwide.

The former Twisted Purl, owned solely by Cyndi, officially closed at the beginning of 2024. Out of the ashes, quite literally, the new Twisted Purl was born.

In March 2024, Cyndi Minister and Meg Benson became partners and the sister duo opened the new Twisted Purl together. Meg’s brilliance brings a lot to Cyndi’s creative savvy. Their partnership helped balance the workload, created much-needed structure, improved customer service, and streamlined the production process.

In addition to the two owners, The Twisted Purl now has employees. They are an integral part of the new company. They have been trained on the precise felting methods established long ago and help create quality products shipped daily. The team is a phenomenal help in expediting production and getting orders out.

Wholesale is available. With a gender-neutral scent, people of all ages are fascinated by the novelty but intrigued by the functionality of Felted Soap. Each creation is as unique as a fingerprint, with no two exactly alike. Felted Soaps make an excellent gift option for customers. Each soap is individually labeled and ready for your customers to enjoy.

Due to the high demand for Felted Soap, The Twisted Purl is no longer open to the public. The working studio space is located in beautiful Downtown Conway, Arkansas.
