This is my new favorite place to hang out! This place will surprise you! It's the oldest yarn store in Wisconsin and formerly a real yarn mill! The current owner of the yarn store, who is often on site, can tell you the history of the mill and store. She's a wonderful conversationalist and you'll just want to grab a hot cocoa and listen to how she's managed the store over the years. The store is filled with beautiful textiles that just make you want to lay down and make yarn snowmen. That's a thing! Right? I love walking through and looking at all the textures and colors. Every corner has something that captures my eye or attention. All the events provide coupons, gifts, and ideas to encourage purchasing at reasonable prices. There's a "secret" room in the neck with discounted yarn. Do NOT miss this special room. There are beautiful choices in that room that allow you to make full projects at reasonable prices The best part though is the coziness of the shop. There are little nooks and crannies in which to sit and create beautiful things. I like to bring my needles and yarn and just sit in the gathering area crocheting while people come and go. The constant movement, chatter, and energy of people around me while my service dog sleeps near my feet feels like a little retreat. It calms my spirit to get in this shop! The shop has events, classes, workshops, and is an amazing community of talented textile artisans eager to share their skills and knowledge. The owner is proud to share the space with community members. She and her staff make this a warm welcoming place to hang out. It's a getaway in the Village. An unassuming little spot that you'll have no reason to seek out but once you find it, you'll never want to leave! People make it wonderful! The yarn and activities make the shop feel like home! Drop in and fall in love with The Grafton Yarn Store. Save me and the dog a seat! read more

See all

I was looking for a light pink mohair. I called ahead, the nice lady let me know she had it. I got there, such a cute little shop. They even have a return policy if you bought too much yarn at the end of your project, you can return unused skeins. And a bonus, there is a great coffee shop next door. I can't wait to go back there again! read more

Great yarn shop! They have a huge selection, from crazy sock yarns to nice acrylics to super cosy sweater yarns, you will definitely find something you will like. They also have pretty much any size needle you may need, and some patterns (but I'd recommend finding a pattern online and then coming here for the yarn). They also have semi-regular sales, for example, on their anniversary they had 22% off everything! They have a few comfy couches if you just need a place to sit, and also have classes (although I've never attended one). A dangerous place to spend money on my new hobby. read more

Uninspiring yarn and displays. Lot of acrylic and blended yarns. Several of the same brands that can be found anywhere. Color selections are mostly neutrals or garish neons. The owner seemed annoyed and dismissive. Perhaps its one of the those places you have to be a regular at to get decent service. Overall, a disappointment. read more

I give two stars for the decent selection of yarns here. I give a big fat zero for the way the owner treats people. Rude, rude, rude. Every time I have been in this shop she is just rude and condescending to customers. In one particular instance I asked a question about the fiber content of a particular yarn and she asked me what I making with it. She didn't answer my question, she just told me that other knitters making the same thing like to use another yarn. Sigh.....if I wanted to use that yarn, I would have chosen that particular yarn. All knitters have their groupies, but hearing the owner audibly sigh when a paying customer would like to check out and causes her to have to leave the group for a moment, maybe she should reconsider being a shop owner. There are plenty of other wonderful yarn shops in the area that do not treat their customers like they are stupid and an annoyance. Please know that my poor experience here has been repeated and not a one time thing. I know I can't post what others have experienced, but know that I am far from the only one who has left here feeling like a nuisance. As far as the patterns that are sold there.......many of them appear to be ripped off from free patterns on Ravelry.com. :( read more

I was absolutely delighted to find this place! Its been in business since the 1960's! Surely they know what they are doing! I enjoyed my chat with the owner, and loved looking around. I'm so happy they carry berocco comfort in worsted weight - my go-to yarn for baby sweaters and hats. Since I live in Milwaukee, this will become a part of my occasional Grafton trip: Grafton Yarn Store, Grafton Alterra and Costco. And Trader Joes on the way home :-) read more

So I have this problem or, maybe, addiction that requires me to check out yarn stores when I am visiting other states. I could be in the most remote place, but if I find a yarn store - I feel at home. So, upon my visit to Grafton for my cousin's wedding, I decided to spend some downtime shopping for yarn. I love the Grafton Yarn Store. The owner immediately welcomed me into her shop and I didn't feel like an awkward out-of-towner at all. Her shop, being housed in the old mill, is very spacious and you'll find plenty to suit your mood here. I bought so many skeins that I had to ship them home as they wouldn't fit into my suitcase. I was able to find some skeins here that I don't usually find in Philadelphia on a regular basis which made it well worth my trip. The price points won't put a major dent in your wallet either - though there are some higher end options if you fancy something very special. There is certainly something here for everyone, though, which is important when serving a diverse range of fiber lovers. I was also pleased with the lovely buttons she has on display in the case at the register. There are couches for relaxing and working on your latest project with a separate space and large table for classes. The store also features a variety of their own patterns which are lovely and well written. I'm sure I'll be making stops here when I pass through again! read more

I finally got to visit this yarn store months after meeting the wonderful staff at the Stitch and Pitch. The store is located in the Grafton Mill alongside artists' studios (one of which is the owner's daughter). When you enter the store, it's a knitter or crocheter dream come true. Yarn is everywhere and neatly arranged. Patterns and samples also line the store. It has a cozy feeling with a couch off to the side of the store for weekly knitting nights. There's a table tucked away in a corner for classes. The stocked yarns are simply amazing. They have everything from Debbie Bliss, Casade, Geidfra, and others. With the vast amount of yarn, it didn't feel overwhelming at all instead it was a treat to walk through the store. I received absolutely amazing service while there and will go back for my yarn needs. I'm so happy that there's a great yarn store with wonderful people that know yarn well. read more

What a neat store, oodles & oodles of beautiful yarn in a rustic setting. It's a knitter's and crocheter's paradise. The staff & owner are very knowledgeable and helpful. They make you feel at home and are willing to help you even if you didn't buy your yarn there After being ignored or followed around as if I's going to take something at other shops, I enjoyed the pleasent, " Let me know if I can help you" statement and then the very helpful answer to questions I had. This is going to be my regular knit shop forever! read more

I just needed to quickly pick up a skein for a project, and although they had knitting group going on, two ladies got up to greet me. One of them helped me located exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. read more
