Fantastic Experience at The Rain Barrel! Stopped into The Rain Barrel after checking out a few…read moreother shops and immediately felt the difference--no pressure, just great service. The sales associate was fantastic. She read us perfectly, let us browse, and only stepped in when it made sense. Ended up buying a beautiful custom gold ring with a stunning quartz crystal and gold veining running through it, plus matching diamonds on the sides--my birthstone. My fiancée also got a gorgeous matching quartz pendant with diamonds. Both pieces are absolutely beautiful and we love them. Highly recommend this place. Great staff, beautiful work, zero pressure. Five stars all the way.

Arrived on Saturday in mid-May from cruise port. Although Yelp says their schedule is open, it…read moreclearly was not. Mail dropped on other side of gate and boxes (for other shops nearby) stacked in front of store making it look like the shop isn't open for several days or weeks. Unknown if they are only opened during high cruising season. Looking through the gate and windows, it looks like they have plenty of space for customers to browse but only having a limited view, fabrics on display looked like fabrics I could buy near home. Not the kind of store I was hoping for. Owner: Please confirm days/hours of operation. Also have signage posted at entrance if closed for season.

Appears closed??? Was there on a Tuesday about 11am. Plenty of stick, boxes to be opened, but no…read moresign regarding hours and mail collecting on floor inside the roll up

Great yarn shop!! High quality name-brand yarns, needles, etc and Alaska-dyed yarns as well. A…read morereally great selection and the gal working today was so exceptionally nice and accommodating. I wish we had a place like this in the larger town we live in but alas we only have big-box stores. A very short walk from the Safeway bus stop and there is a shuttle stop across the street at the west flight building. We traveled here from the NCL cruise terminal at ward cove. Thank you thank you!!

All throughout the trip to Alaska, I have been looking for Alaskan yarn. I finally found it at…read moreUntangle Yarn and Fiber! Beautiful colors! Wonderful textures! High prices. While I found what I was looking for, I didn't purchase it because pricing didn't meet expectations.

One very impressive shop is on the corner of the famous Creek street…read more The shop is uniquely Alaska. Everything I looked through was actually made here with materials farmed here. I didn't mind a higher price knowing it helped sustain the Alaskan economy. Mrs. E. found plenty of clever uses of metal, wood, glass and fabric. That is to say she managed to drop $150 in the shop. This is the only place in town that I could find themed guitar picks. Understand, I don't play them, I arrange and secure them (usually in a flower pattern) to hard cardboard and make small shadow boxes. Today, all the picks featured pictures and the words "Ketchikan, Alaska". A great conversation piece for my wall. The ladies that run the shop are truly wonderful souls and we loved helping them out. 08/23

Had a racist experience today during the art walk with the owner. It was our first stop for the art…read morewalk we went in looked at the art pieces picked up a few pieces and put them back. We didn't buy anything but we're not required to. At the back of the store there serving food, we were surprised we didn't know there was food we asked and they told us it was free. We got some food ate it and my friend continued to look around while I went out to eat my food so I wasn't just standing in the way. Two more of my friend come out and join me while we wait for my other friends to finish looking. The OWNER (I'll include a picture of her lol tell me if that's the owner) came and told us (we're all black by the way) they weren't just giving free food and this was about art. I replied that we did look at the art pieces. I was really shocked because we spend a least 10-15 minutes looking at the art. We made sure the food was free before we took any and I went out side to eat to be respectful just in case I dropped anything on some art pieces. We were the only ones she said this to. It our first time in Ketchikan so to experience this in our first weeks here was so upsetting.
