Fabulous Fiber Arts and More — Local services in Ketchikan

My husband and I just recently went inside the shop to see what types of yarn they have. We were greeted by a seemingly nice woman, though very loud on the ears (loud enough to be heard through a wall). Who introduced us to the various hand-dyed yarns that they have and where they were from. Things seemed ok until I was asked if I was a knitter, and I replied that I was a crocheter. And when I asked if they knew of any fabric stores in the immediate area was promptly told that they do carry some fabric from the Studio 103 at the Plaza, and that the ONLY other place around is Studio 103 a the Plaza, and when asked if she was sure...was promptly told the same thing again that there isn't anything else nearby. I happened to know of a quilt shop literally 2 blocks away and was very shocked and dismayed to hear her deny it. Didn't seem professional, or courteous at all, and it was obvious they know about the other quilt shop. It's a shame this store doesn't seem to want to be very "united" in the crafting industry. I wouldn't recommend this place to any crocheter's or crafters as the customer service was lacking...

On an Alaska cruise in October I made it a point to visit yarn shops in the various towns in which the ship stopped. I must say that this shop in Ketchikan was my favorite. From its charming setting, its bright spacious interior and wonderful yarn selection, to the warmth and helpfulness of the owner, for those knitters and crocheters who find themselves in Ketchikan a visit to this shop is a real treat. On my next cruise if there’s only one yarn store I visit Fabulous Fiber Arts in Ketchikan will be it. I believe they will also ship if you contact them for...

Very nice yarn store with a great selection of locally died yard along with Cascade Yarns & Malabrigo brands to only list a couple. They also have a selection of needles and other knitting accessories. There is a few beads and other local products for your browsing enjoyment.

There is a room in the back where Knitters can gather and work on projects.

The prices are very reasonable despite its touristy location. The owner, I believe, is very friendly and welcoming.
