Yarn store recommendations for Rome and Florence

I’m a knitter and would love to visit a yarn store in Rome and Florence. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks

I do not, but if you chance to visit Siena, and you’re heading up Via delle Terme towards the Piazza Il Campo, you’ll find a place called Il Gomitolo on your right (#59).

While I haven't shopped in their Roma stores, I visited one shop in Milano. Here's the website and you can check out their Roma shops to see which might be easiest to visit: Canetta.
Not just yarn, but linens, patterns, etc.

So glad it's not just me!

We're visiting Florence in October, and I've been Google-hunting for yarn stores. The two results I've found are:

https://www.campolmifilati.it/index.php - looks like they have their own yarn lines, possibly some other stuff - I'm excited about the cones, but I need to keep reminding myself what a pain they are to carry back - less than a block from the Duomo

https://mirkofilati.business.site/ - a pretty standard yarn store, heavy on the cotton - right next the Basilica di San Lorenzo

Thank you for the suggestions! I’m looking forward to getting some interesting yarns to add to my stash, and if they don’t fit in my suitcase I guess I’ll just have to buy a new leather bag! 😊
