Walked into Farm North Yarn Company as a guy who knows absolutely nothing about yarn... and walked…read moreout feeling like I just got a masterclass. I went in to grab a gift for my wife, fully expecting to point at something and hope for the best. Instead, Ms. Kay took the time to walk me through different types of yarn, what they're used for, and even the kinds of projects they go into. She didn't just sell me yarn, she educated me... patiently. The shop itself is a great setup. Tons of options, great quality, and you can tell everything in there has a purpose. It's one of those places where people who know what they're doing can really get after it, and people like me don't feel completely lost. Bottom line, Ms. Kay is just a genuinely good human being. Friendly, knowledgeable, and runs a solid business. Highly recommend for anyone into crafts... or for husbands trying not to mess up a gift. #SupportLocal #SmallBusiness #Alaska #CraftLife #ShopLocal #MayorJacobs

I love this store. The yarn quality, the colors, the knitters who come in to shop, visit and sit…read moreand knit. Kay is always welcoming and helpful to anyone needing assistance choosing yarn or supplies and deciding on projects. I can't imagine anyone being treated badly here. The variety of people at the store reflects Alaska's diversity and is part of what I enjoy about coming here to buy yarn or get help with my projects. It is one of my happy places.

As a novice crocheter, I was so intrigued by this cute local yarn shop located in downtown…read moreAnchorage! The store front was so beautiful with the super chunky blanket with large needles. When we walked into the store, we were kindly greeted by Jo who taught us so much about qiviut and how the yarn were hand dyed in small batches in Anchorage, colors inspired by the beauty of Alaska. She opened the case with the qiviut and allowed me to handle a sample on my hands. The qiviut was very lightweight, and surprisingly very warm! Walking around the store, I had never seen the yarn color variations that Wooly Mammoth had. Also, I loved how catchy the name was! I eventually settled on the Northern Bee studio 80% superwash merino 20% nylon poison water yarn and purchased a 5mm crochet hook. I really appreciated Jo's kindness and expertise in crocheting and knitting. Definitely a must stop if you're in downtown!

The ladies in the store were so helpful and friendly! Terry checked me out and talked to my husband while I shopped. They have a fantastic amount of kits and fun fabrics for good prices.

Based on my wife's experience and opinion they seemed to have what a person shopping for their merchandise finds at reasonable prices. She would highly recommend them if sewing, crafts, materials for various things related to those activities. Go shopping there to verify what I have said. Ample parking, handicapped parking spaces and good for families.

When checking out the cashier didn't talk much, the only thing she said was that they had no bags whatsoever. Once checked out she instantly went on her phone and ignored another customer waiting for fabric. Either change employees or owners because this place used to be like my childhood dream spot but now it's a shame that it's gone downhill like this.

Note that the entire store is hair-free due to the owner's mother's allergy (her mom, Denise, dyes the majority of the hand-dyed yarn), so no yarns that include hair fiber.

I stopped by for thread; however, I walked the entire store because I'm always looking for inspiration. I felt like I was constantly stepping over things and shelves were bare throughout the store. Fabric cutting and cashiers are generally polite, and I was able to find what I needed and actually picked up some fabric on sale as well. While I don't go in very often, I'll wait a while longer to see if things get cleaned up and return to the once upon a time, neat and tidy that it use to be.

I went with some low end frames to get the job done and save a pretty penny. They also have custom framing but that's not the kind of investment I want to make in playroom art just yet. They have a beautiful assortment of home decor and it changes ultra frequently. Right now they have a lot of mahjong decor which I didn't know was trending right now but it's certainly giving off Southern Living vibes. The attendant for the self checkout area was helpful and came over to help me cancel out a duplicate swipe before I even needed to flag her down. I was impressed with the customer service being so friendly and helpful. I was also able to use my Michael's store cash before it expired and I was able to stack my coupons and saved a boat load of money.
