A combination yarn store and used book store. Hard to find, and not really worth the effort. There was nothing here that I couldn't get elsewhere, and the owner/employee didn't speak to me.

I've traveled all over the US and go to LYS' wherever I am, and Fantastic Fibers is my favorite!

She's Crafty is horrible and doesn't have a very good selection. I refuse to shop there.

I was driving through the area and stopped in. Kim & Jack weren't there, but Heather was lovely. It's a great shop to visit!

A cute store in downtown Holland. Not a huge selection, but they have all the basics.

I rate this an "okay" shop. It's fine to stop at on your way somewhere else, but don't go out of your way to find it. The selection was minimal, and although they carried a lot of Malabrigo, there was nothing out of the ordinary. The dog was the friendliest "person" in the shop, too.

Just got back from my 7th trip to Alaska and was really disappointed in Fantastic Fibers this trip. It doesn't look like it's been kept up, and although there's still a ton of yarn there, I'm sure there were some of the same ones that were there when I last visited in 2006. Also, this is a home/store, and the dog smells were really strong this time.

Very overpriced. You can do better elsewhere for the brands they carry.

Just visited Alaska and saw the new store. Great service and some good local yarns. The only drawback is that because of the trees, it's hard to find if you don't know exactly where it is.

Very nice little store in Eagle River.

Very cute little yarn store in Seward. Worth a stop if you're visiting the area.
