Skagway was one of our ports of call on our Alaska cruise. We did the White Pass Scenic Railway…read more(train ride) in the morning and fell asleep on the train way back from the top. Then we had a couple hours to wander the small town. We enjoyed visiting Aurora Yarns and Wild Yukon Furs, and eating the cinnamon sugar "Elephant" ears. Aurora Yarns has some interesting yarns from a variety of animals. They have some hybrid yarns too. I don't knit or chochet but my friend does so I bought her a bundle of multi-colored yarn as a souvenir gift from here. She liked the color and was grateful. The lady who worked there was helpful in describing the difference between the yarns.

So you want to bring home something other than a blood diamond when you go to Alaska. I understand;…read moreI'm in that boat. My hobbies compel me to sniff out fabric and yarn stores because the promise of a creation is always taunting me. Can I make something cool with a bit of this and a dash of that? Of course! Enter Changing Threads/Uncommon Threads/Rushin' Tailor (three businesses, one name). Like any good quilt store, the cottons are piled high with bolt upon bolt promising a thrill and a chill for anyone with a wish and a dream. My waxing poetic aside, the choice and sales were good--for Alaska. I picked up some Raven Frog Fiber Arts (based in Sitka, AK) roving to spin. The store was busy, but each employee had their job down to a science. Can't do better than that. Accessibility notes: Shop can get crowded. Narrow aisles for customers with mobility devices. No braille signage.

This shop was formerly located in a shared space with Rushin' Tailor (quilt shop) but now occupies…read morea little space of its own on 7th Ave, across from Walsh Park. There's a very nice selection of locally dyed yarn, all of it pretty reasonably priced for luxury goods in a tourist town. I was on a mission for qiviut during my Alaska vacation, but instead fell in love with a beautiful wool/silk/yak blend... had a lovely chat with the dyer, too. Nice to know I'm supporting a local artisan with my tourism dollars. There was also a fun selection of buttons & notions & the like. Drop in & browse for a bit before you have to get back on the boat!

It was a bit cramped (when the cruise ships are in port) but the walls and shelves are well stocked with so many fabrics, kits and materials. I was in 7th heaven!! The customer service was great and helpful. They were busy though...but I'm sure they are used to the ebb and flow of the crowds. There were a few chairs inside the door (and possibly a couple outside as well) for the spouses that have little interest in perusing a crowded shop. It was cute. The only thing that could make this shop better would be an expanded facility. But overall, its name says it all. Quilt Alaska. I'll be back one day.

They also have gold panning in the outside area. Cost is $35 when we went and they guarantee you'll get some gold. We had a friend's daughter do it and she panned about 5 specs of gold. She had a really good time trying and the workers was friendly, helpful, and informative. Fun to do for the little ones.

The lady helped my 5 year old fill his rock back with real rocks instead of only fake dyed ones. She named them for him and was placing them in his bag. The gentleman helped my 10 year old pick the best fossilized ammonites. The bag of rocks was only $8. And each of the other stones we chose were $10 each. I got myself Larimar (supposedly native to alaska) and a viriscite. They're beautiful. Big kid also got a gold sheen obsidian stone which is one of my favorites.
