Ketchikan's Specialty Yarn & Fiber Shop with yarn & fiber hand-dyed in Ketchikan by Ketchikan just for you. Quality kits, tools, books, patterns, equipment, and notions. Come see us on Tongass Avenue between Berth 4 & Safeway.

We’re a true mom & pop shop–it’s just the two of us. This isn’t a first or even a second career, but it’s a labor of love. We’re as small business as it gets, and we appreciate your patronage very much, but we don’t just want to sell you stuff. We want to make life better by helping you do something you love. We’re not here to get rich, as anyone who sells their own handmade items knows quite well. Our prices are set by the small dyers and notion-makers whose treasures we carry, and we choose those carefully.

And we’re here to share our story–that the same God who brings us through has your back, too, because, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

Time was that most days you would find Deborah with a pair of knitting needles in her hands or close by as she jotted down notes for a new pattern, experimented with stitch combinations, and passed the time with a comfortable hobby. Nowadays, she has a new purpose for those pastimes, and, most days, you’ll find her sitting in the shop, happy to talk yarn, give knitting advice, and introduce others to her favorite dyers. If you look closely at just the right time, you might even find Eric in the corner with a pair of needles demonstrating what real yarn husbands are like.

We have yarn hand-dyed here in Ketchikan from A Gentle Whisper and yarn dyed around the world from dyers including Nava Wool, Wollelfe, Baah, Wonderland, Ancient Arts, Handmaiden/Fleece Artist, Emma's Yarn, Skein Queen, Hedgehog, Biscotte, Treenway Silk, and Gist.

We are an Ashford dealer, carrying spinning wheels, table looms, rigid heddle looms, and their parts & accessories. We also carry ChiaoGoo, Lantern Moon, and Purple Heart needles/hooks along with notions from Cocoknits, Feline Faithful, Fox & Pine, Knit and Purr. Find kits, mystery bundles, and new & used books
