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.

DANGER WARNING: SERIOUS SAFETY & ETHICS CONCERNS…read more THEY KEEP TRYING TO BURY THIS REVIEW SO REPOSTING. Specifically: - POOR AIRCRAFT CONDITIONS - INEXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS - UNETHICAL BUSINESS In April, Blue River confirmed my request that my dog can fly with me as I qualify for my PPL (see attached) so I moved up to Palmer, AK from TX and setup near the airport to start intense training in June. I showed up on June 15 for my first day of training, and it's been a disturbing experience. As a brief summary: POOR AIRCRAFT CONDITIONS - I observed missing exterior screws / bolts, large dent in flap, bent aileron and non-functional shoulder / seat belts on N4714F. This plane was available to students to fly. This is being reported to the FAA. INEXPERIENCED INSTRUCTORS - My assigned instructor, LILIAN, indicated she was from TN and only 1 month into flying in AK, and she seemed to have a mini panic attack about flying with a dog. UNETHICAL BUSINESS - Now that I'm here, Blue River is saying my dog cannot fly with me (see attached). They also charged me for June 15 even though the instructor, Lilian, was too nervous to fly. I have left 2 messages with the front office staff for the owner, JAMIE, to try and resolve things but no return call. I have now wasted over a month and several thousand dollars coming to Blue River, and they are entirely avoiding returning call or addressing any of the issues. BLUE RIVER IS SIMPLY A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. Be Safe Out There.
