History

Established in 1996.

Paradise has been family owned and operated since 1996. Paradise is proudly one of the largest yarn shops of it’s kind in the world with over 26,000 square feet.

We started out with mail order at our farm and eventually rented an old warehouse behind an adult book store, the rent was cheap and location spacious. After getting pushed out of that space (they needed more room for uhm videos…) we were able to purchase an old bakery near downtown which we renovated ourselves. The bakery building is a historic landmark, built in early 1900 and the old gigantic baking ovens are still here on display. Paradise has over 500 different spinning fibers and thousands of balls of yarn. Paradise Fibers has become a local tourist attraction with the huge selection of spinning wheels, looms and natural animal fibers all on display in a historic building.
