Meet the Business Owner

Jessica J.

Business Owner

My Nana taught me to knit when I was 12, and I have been obsessed with all things wool and crafting every since. I grew up in Oregon, and lived in NYC for 8 years before moving to Edinburgh for University. It has always been my dream to open up my own wool shop, I just never imagined that it would be in the amazing and lovely city of Edinburgh.

A more perfectly formed yarn shop can not possibly exist! Everything about Ginger Twist Studio is carefully thought out to maximise the space in the tiny little shop.
The owner, Jess, dyes her own yarn by hand, and her waterfall of ‘Ginger’s Hand Dyed’ is a sight to behold, almost every colour you could imagine is on the wall and it’s a real challenge not to bring one home every time you visit!
Not only hand dyed, there is a range of yarns, patterns, needles and notions to suit all budgets and abilities. Jess is always happy to answer questions, make suggestions, or put the kettle on for a wee cup of tea and a chat over some yarny pursuits.
The shop has regular classes too where you can learn to knit or crochet as a complete beginner, or develop more complex skills and techniques.
Ginger Twist Studio really does stand out in the craft scene in Edinburgh and if you’re visiting the city you’d be mad not to visit this little hidden gem!

My 1000^th review is well fit for a lovely, unique, and local shop. (So Unilocal-y!)
I learned about Ginger Twist from the owner of another lovely local knit shop this past summer, but was unable to visit until my next Edinburgh visit. Just after Christmas, I stopped in with my husband and found this charming shop! It’s minute — more like a walk-in closet than what would normally be a shop — but it’s sweet. I feel it’s a good sign when the owner is sitting there, knitting and having cake with friends (and didn’t make us feel excluded through this either).
The selection isn’t vast, but for the size of the place it *is* varied. The hand dyed options are just beautiful and the rest is nice as well — seeming to focus on British wools. In the end, I left spending about 3 times as much as I’d meant to, but I was happy with my big bag of yarn! Can’t wait to visit again!

I popped into this tiny shop when I was in Edinburgh for the day. I don’t actually know how to knit so I didn’t buy any yarn, but there was a great selection of beautiful colors and pretty little buttons. The owner was very sweet and friendly. If I lived in Edinburgh and hadn’t just been in town to drop off a visa application to leave Scotland I might have signed up for some knitting classes!
