Ginger Twist Studio

Ginger Twist Studio is an independent yarn and craft shop in Abbeyhill, east-central Edinburgh. Dogs are welcome inside, so you can browse the shelves and handle materials with your dog at your side. It's a useful stop if you're exploring this quieter neighbourhood with a four-legged companion in tow.

The shop is staffed by people who know their materials and can help with project advice or colour matching while your dog settles on the floor. Stock ranges across yarn, patterns, notions and craft supplies for knitters, crocheters and makers of various stripes.

Montrose Terrace nearby offers convenient access to city-centre and east-side neighbourhood walks, making this a sensible craft break during a longer dog outing around Edinburgh. Parking is tight in the area; a portable ramp is available for accessibility.
