Yarn Shops in Alaska

6 of the 69 sewing and fabric businesses we track in Alaska have yarn, knitting and crochet supplies. Local yarn shops are the part of the needlework world that survives on being touched — you come in to feel the fibre, match a dye lot and ask someone what went wrong on row 40. They're listed here alongside fabric and quilt shops because the trip is often the same trip, and because the chains that replaced them don't carry the same stock. Full listings for every city are on the Alaska page.

Dye lots and classes are why people go in person. If a project needs more than one skein of the same colour, buy them together — the same shade from a different lot can stitch up visibly different. Most shops also run sit-and-knit sessions or beginner classes, which is worth asking about on the phone; they're rarely advertised well online.
