I was referred here as a great place for fellow crafters. They had an extensive collection of yarn and even had locally dyed options. The staff member showed me around the whole store and explained all of their options. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. They also have groups that meet up to crochet or knit together. Dedicated parking lot and a way bigger selection than I expected. read more

My sisters and I took a crochet class together. The first grandchild/grandniece is on the way and we want to make some gifts. The class was informative and our instructor, Tina, was so much fun. The yarn shop is a sensory adventure with all the colors and textures. Bonus: good restaurants within walking distance. read more

Birdhouse Yarns is a nice yarn shop. Today knitters sit around a big table. There are no yarns that grab me, or displays that lure me towards purchase. Then I'm stopped in my tracks heading for the door. I see on the table beanies knit in lovely colors with a saguaro/desert design. The Saguaro Beanie Kit by Nancy Bates is $35.00, the pattern $5.00. I am told Nancy Bates creates patterns to represent all national parks.Thank you, knitting spirits! It went right to my heart. I have spent a month near the Saguaro National Park in Tucson and am in awe of them. What a great way to memorialize the experience. The woman with a British or Australian accent, the shopkeeper, is very pleasant. Just the kind of person you hope to find in your yarn spot. At checkout the pattern is put into my Ravelry library, and they also make a copy for me. read more

Birdhouse Yarns - Saguaro Beanie Kit by Nancy Bates at Birdhouse Yarns - Embroidery & Crochet Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Oh my goodness this place is AMAZING!! The queen that runs this beautiful haven was SO HELPFUL and encouraging. I picked up knitting again and I had no clue what I was doing but she listened to what I was looking for and guided me to all of my options. She was able to look at the pattern and the gauge and knew that the suggested needles didn't make any sense for the look of the slouchy beanie. Maybe I was in awe but for good reason! She also has a website so if you don't feel comfortable going in you can order your needs from there. You can make an appointment with her to shop and to get help but if she has time and you're not trying to waste hers then I'm more than positive that she will help you with your project!! I'd recommend this place a million times over!! Even when I move again I know I will still order yarn and needles from her along with asking her for help. read more

Beautiful selection. Knowledgeable, welcoming and helpful staff. Sweet little shop that is a joy to visit and support. There's a table at the front of the shop you can knit at with other during open knit and get help or just some good company. Love it! read more

The crotchet teacher was so patient and pleasant. What a great place to learn to crotchet!

One of the loveliest yarn stores I've ever been in. Unbelievably well organized and features copious amounts and varieties of yarns with practically a whole room for every fiber. . The ladies working there were helpful and friendly, even brought me a cup of coffee. While staying in Tucson for a couple of months, I went there to kill some time while the dogs were being groomed. But I didn't have to go into doggy hangover because there was a little fella there to keep me company. I sat and knit with them for a couple of hours, after buying some locally sourced yarn of course! I will definitely go back again before we head north in May. read more

What a wonderful gem! I needed a pair of size 9 knitting needles and decided that instead of buying them online I would go here. They were very nice, and so many rooms of yarn! It is the perfect place to add to your stash of yarn as the options are all so pretty! I also followed them on Facebook as they seem to update frequently. read more

I was very unimpressed with this business. The young lady at the front desk showed absolutely no customer service skills and appeared uninterested in working here. I asked about crochet thread and was told they didn't have any. As I looked around I found several thread displays. When I asked about a needle I was immediately told they only had 1 and I needed 2. I finally left and won't be back read more

I always stop in the LYS when away and this place did not disappoint. Great variety of yarns which makes decision harder ,, And very helpful staff. Had some lovely yarn bowls that were made of wood which i have not seen before. The place was spacious and there were several women knitting at the table in front. The back room had a scent of dog and there was a little guy afoot. That was only reason didn't Get 5 stars. read more

Absolutely terrific little yarn shop. Good selection of yarn, from a perspective of brand variety, price range, and available colors. The owner, Holly, is warm and friendly, and very knowledgeable. Her helpful attitude carries through everyone at the store. Crocheters note: we are welcome here. I worked at another yarn store (now closed), and Birdhouse Yarns is exactly where you want to be shopping. It's a pleasure to be a customer here. Great find! read more

This is my favorite yarn store in Tucson. Run by a mother/daughter team. They are incredibly warm and welcoming. I showed them a hat I made and based on that, gave me some great recommendations for other hat patterns I might like. I was in Tucson for two weeks and went to the shop four times! Wouldn't be a trip to Tucson without a stop at Birdhouse Yarns. Thanks so much ladies! You're all awesome! read more

This is an amazing little shop. I'm just started to knit and we decided to check this out-we felt it would be more personable than michaels or JoAnne's and we were right. Holly was really helpful, knowledgeable and kind. I will never buy yarn anywhere else! read more

I recently stopped by Birdhouse Yarns after meeting a friend for lunch at the Rincon Market. The new owner opened in September in the previous Kiwi Knit Shop location. Wow! I hardly recognized the place! She carries all the great yarns you'd expect, and then some. And the owner is very knowledgeable and eager to help you with your problems. I got so excited by the beautiful yarns on display that I started crocheting again after a 50 year hiatus. (ok, I admit, it never thrilled me as a child!) Highly Recommended! read more
