I live in Fairbanks and always stop in every time I am down in Anchorage. It just so happens that it is right across from Bear Tooth, so you can put your name on the reservations list and walk over a knit for an hour or so. They have so many manufacturers of yarn and fiber goodness it will make your head spin. Service is outstanding, the store environment is superb, and I have heard that they knit until 10pm and later on Friday nights. A great place to hang out with all of your knitting friends, or stop in to pick up a new hobby.
