Grandma's Spinning Wheel — Attraction in Tucson

This is my favorite yarn store in Tucson. There is so much fiber and yarn it might seem overwhelming at first. If you don't find what you are looking for all you have to do is ask. If there is not enough yarn on the shelf for your project, just ask, there is usually understock or it can be order for you if the manufacturer has not discontinued it. In the fiber section I find it really hard not to buy the more unusual fibers like Camel Down, Yak, different kinds of alpaca or wool. Are you looking for a breed specific fiber start here.

I brought my project in and they helped me work through the problem. They were very patient as they taught me how to do the stitch. As a knitter I love the variety of yarns available in this store. Every knitter can find a quality yarn to fit their pocket book. Patience, variety of product, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and reasonable pricing. If you love fiber work, you gotta go...

I’ve always thought of the knitting community as being welcoming and helpful. I used to live in Tucson and visit my family here frequently. One of our visits every year is an extended visit so I’ve been in all of the existing and many of the previous yarn shops in town. This trip I received yarn from a designer to do a test knit. I had hoped to receive and wind the yarn before coming to Tucson but it didn’t arrive on time. The yarn was forwarded to me here. I wound one of the 600 yarn skeins by hand. That was a LONG process. I took the remaining two skeins to this shop, where I have purchased yarn in the past, hoping they would wind the yarn for me. I explained my situation and offered to pay to have the yarn wound. I was turned down. I won’t...
