I absolutely need to get to Alaska to go to this shop! What a fun store with variety and focus on local 👏

[@yessysdesigns]

What a beautiful tour... the store is filled with so many amazing pieces from local artists. First time that I see yarn behind a locked glass cabinet. 🤩

I grew up on Elmendorf Air Force base. 7 years we ended up living there. What a beautiful place to live. I’m hoping to go back someday.

I had the pleasure of visiting this shop in July! I purchased a skein of the Woolly Mammoth DK in the colorway Fireweed. Fireweed is a beautiful wildflower that was blooming when I was there.

Great place in Alaska. As a former Alaska resident (2001) and quilter, this shop brought back memories of Alaska fabric. I had the chance to buy some Qiviut, early in my knitting, and passed. What a fabulous tour. Thanks

[@sharbear1968]

What a fun visit. I feel like Qivuit is a rite of passage for knitters to purchase. I love seeing your Musselburgh. It’s going to be such a beautiful souvenir for you.

Hello from Kentucky. I feel like I am waiting in line to see an awesome movie! I love it!

[@simplycorinne]

You have put some pieces together for me! I live not too far from this shop. There are MANY talented artisians in this area. I see those fabric prints on handmade items everywhere and have always wondered where they come from 😊 I'm going to stop in there soon, it's lovely!

[@cindymswyo]

Hello from Swansea, Illinois.❤❤❤

[@kstock8271]

Sounds weird to say out loud, but just moved back to Anchorage and get anxiety going into new stores or local shops. This was so nice to see, will be checking them out next time I'm in town.

[@KnittyNatty]

I don’t think that’s strange at all! I find it super helpful to have an idea of what to expect before going to a new place. I wish you luck!!

[@zm3839]

Thanks for sharing. I will def have to visit them next time I am in Anchorage.

[@cherylelinsmith743]

Thanks for showing this cool yarn store Natalie. That Wooly Mammoth is beautiful yarn, love the colors. I just went on the NYC Yarn Crawl. Went to Argyle yarn shop in Brooklyn on Friday and got 3 hanks of Hedgehog Fibers from Ireland in color Sunshower. I also got Argyles Luminous Chunky weight yarn in colors Bonanza and Candlelight. Today I went to Knitty City, cause they had the Artist who hand dyes the yarn "Yarn Over New York". Bought three hanks of her DK weight yarn, and one of her fingering weight yarn with sparkles. It is the same color as the three skeins in DK. I also got another yarn in a lilac lavender color to make a hat, Urth yarns. For every hank they sell they plant a tree in Africa. Will have to double strand it. We were lucky today cause they kept their ball winder going. I had to wind up the yarn I got from Argyle with my Stanwood. They had a grand prize for the Crawl but, to be entered into the contest, you had to visit all nine stores. Knitty City had a raffle basket but, I only won an enameled pin.

[@LizWCraftAdd1ct]

OMG I love that store. If only I wasn't so far away in the UK.

[@margaretsparksrittenhouse8787]

Lovely shop, I am sorry I missed it when I was in Anchorage. Next time!

[@nicoledoyal8386]

Thanks for a great tour.

[@sandistolle4874]

That was a lot to take in!

[@tsoonklah]

Omg! Wish I knew! I’m in Anchorage & would’ve loved to give you one of my Tlingit design scarves. If still in our neck of the woods let me know.

[@judymarkel8029]

Fun

[@Legia-ct4zj]

Will look for this shop! Is there a pattern for the white, striped top?

[@Tinas_Workshop]

What an amazing store! Did I hear her right that she had pieces made from Artic Fox?

[@Melmaz32]

I think she said they had yarn from arctic fox !

[@Alaskaventureswithbrodie]

Oh my gosh I live in alaska! How long are you here?

Ok….we all want to know: what kiviut did you bring home? 🙂

[@jenmccarthy372]

Natalie, I really enjoyed the Qiviut portion of the video. Your content is great and I enjoy learning about “new to me” info. I did have a question about the arctic fox pieces…you made reference to a piece having a nice halo. I was wondering what you meant by halo? 🧶

[@Awkwardpanda421]

the little fuzzy texture that looks like it sits above the yarn is what she is talking about. At 11:27 you can see it contrasted really well with the Fox Fiber. Think of when you hold Mohair with another yarn and knit something. The mohair fuzzy part is the halo! :)
