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!

Bright and cheerful, the shop strikes the perfect balance between fun and refined--whether you're browsing locally inspired souvenirs or hunting for vapes. Convenience & Accessibility This small-business offers notable perks wheelchair-friendly access, and support for both credit and debit transactions . Perfect for visitors with limited time or mobility, that makes a big difference. Unique Mix of Offerings Buckshot & Bobby Pins isn't your run-of-the-mill souvenir store.

The gift shop in the front also had a somewhat limited selection compared to the massive stores by the port, but they still have nice items. I stopped in and picked up a beautiful Skagway waterglobe.

Just heard that Skagway Alaska is one of four counties in the USA with no covid 19 cases, and by…read morefar the most populated of the four counties. Visited Skagway before the pandemic, and one place we stopped was Corrington Alaska Ivory. Combination of a gift shop store, with a small museum in the back. The store has all sorts of artifacts, trinkets, and ivory carvings for sale. Museum exhibits show the history of Alaska. Natives hunting the wooly mammoth 30,000 years ago. A mammoth tusk, with carvings of 14 mammoths and 31 hunters for sale for $52,500. That would make up for the thousands of free loading tourists fresh off the half dozen monster cruise ships visiting the museum daily in the past. History of Alaska illustrated in the museum. Painting of all the various animals in the landscape of Alaska, Russian rule from 1783-1867, purchase of Alaska, whale hunting by boat, settlement by gold rush travelers 1831-1921, and the Iditarod race held annually, with a sled and associated artifacts. Some of the ivory collection from extinct and endangered species such as the mammoth and pacific walrus. Why no covid 19 cases in Skagway? It's completely cut off from the outside. The coronavirus halted cruise ship sailings, and no way to reach Skagway by land from the rest of Alaska, as borders closed at the Yukon, Canada, rendering the tourist as the most recent endangered species.

Asked a simple question about if they were having any end of season sales as we saw lots of them in Ketchikan and wanted to be sure if there was a sale we didn't miss that, The response I received was that if I wanted a sale, I should go shop elsewhere. Really? It was such a basic question and shouldn't have been met with that type of response.
