Welcome to The Twisted Stitch, Fort Collins’ cozy corner for creativity.
Nestled just on the edge of Old Town Fort Collins, The Twisted Stitch is more than a craft store. It’s a gathering place where makers of all kinds and all experience levels can build a local community around creativity. Whether you knit, crochet, sew, embroider, or simply love the feel of beautiful yarns and fabrics, we’re here to inspire you.
From vibrant hand-dyed yarns to unique notions, we stock our shelves thoughtfully, supporting companies you won’t find in big box store. We believe that when people craft together they build stronger bonds, so we host classes, stitch nights, and community events to connect fellow creatives.
At The Twisted Stitch, every skein, spool, and stitch tells a story. We’re here to help you write yours – one project at a time.

Princess Pippa LaFloof
Pippa is an English Angora rabbit—one of the fluffiest fiber animals in the world! Her cloud-like coat is incredibly soft and can be gently collected and spun into luxurious yarn. With regular grooming (and lots of treats), she helps us create some truly magical, handmade fiber right here in the shop.
She’s named after Phyllis “Pippa” Latour Doyle, a real-life hero who served as a British spy during World War II. Disguised as a village girl, Phyllis used her knitting to smuggle coded messages past Nazi soldiers—hiding Morse code in her stitches while risking her life for the Allied forces.
Like her namesake, Princess Pippa is soft, clever, and braver than she looks.
