    My wife always drags me here. In decades, I've never shopped her of my own free will. But it's a great place for crafts, arts, decorations, painting, and such. I enjoy the holiday displays especially. They have a wide selection of holiday decorations and crafts and items. All very interesting and stuff not found anywhere else in Anchorage.

    Michael's in Anchorage is the typical, obligatory craft store. The store is usually clean and the customer service is fair. I have noticed some of the associates could use some training in customer service skills. My biggest criticism with this store is their stock and availability, it is lacking in several areas. I realize that being in Alaska poses some issues with availability but it seems worse at Michaels than many of the other stores in town. They also tend to not order much of the seasonal items so it goes really fast when they do get items in. I'd think with little to no competition from other craft stores they'd be able to know the audience and keep a well stocked store but it seems the opposite effect, likely not ordering as much stock for fear of having it left over and storing or going to clearance. Not a horrible store to visit but also no other viable options to shop for crafts and the like.

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

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.

If you're looking for cheap yarn, look elsewhere. They have premium quality stuff pretty much exclusively. I really enjoy the quirky stock they have. They will show you how to wind your own yarn if you ask, and you can use the manual one on your own if you know how. They have lots of local yarns.

By all means, they're beautiful, unique and made a lovely hat and fingerless gloves, but dang! I sure hope my son's girlfriend loves them! :D The nice lady working in there was very kind, available if needed and just allowed me to browse at my own pace. It's quite nice that they offer to roll the hank of yarn into a ball for you as well, which only takes a minute or two each. Just as the pandemic was hitting in the spring, they were getting ready to have classes for spinning yarn and unfortunately that has been postponed until all this ridiculousness is over. I'll probably go to a class or two, since I do have a wheel of my own. I merely dock a star for the price... by all means I will keep shopping there when I'm in need of fabulous yarn, but it's not for the random piece or practice project for sure. If you're looking for a specialty yarn for yourself or a gift, I highly recommend The Tangled Skein!
