Great yarn store! Tons of different color options and weights. I went in looking to get a single…read moreskein and I ended up with 4. I would have bought more but I had limited room in my suitcase! 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.

We just finished our first needle felted class here…read more What a wonderful space and a prime location off Dimond. The owner and the primary instructor is a great teacher and I am already excited to figure out which class I am going to take next! We learned that there are going to be guest teachers at this space as well. They offer needle felting, welt felting, crochet, knitting, macrame... Basically the sky's the limit! There is an open studio on Friday to come and learn from other artists. This is truly a gem for Anchorage.

I've taken two classes so far at The Art Lounge…read more The space is welcoming, warm, boho vibes and I'm here for it. I love the decor and everything has been thought out and well executed. The space has many seating options - swinging chairs, big meeting tables, couches...whatever you're comfortable in Classes are chill and she definitely spends one on one time with you as needed. That being said she always asks permission before touching your art or helping, which I appreciate a lot. Felted wool, wet felting, knitting, crotchet, and other fiber arts can all be found here. She has guest teachers and classes constantly. Fridays are a stitch and bitch - bring your own project or your eagerness to learn a new craft. You can purchase take home kits too for $40 and they include everything you need to make a small friend. Definitely recommend.

Usually Paint Nite will have a picture that everyone will paint at the same time, but in this instance you send in a photo and at the event there will be a sketch of your animal already laid out on the canvas. Started at 6PM and we were finished at 8:30PM. It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours with food and drink available. It was completely full and everyone had awesome portraits of their pet. I would come again and recommend.
