Skagway yarn-crawl guide
A small gold-rush town with one of the strongest yarn stops on the route.
Docking at Skagway cruise docks — Skagway cruise docks, Skagway, AK 99840. United States.
Shore-day plan
Prioritize Aurora Yarns of Alaska if qiviut, arctic fibers, or Alaska-dyed yarn are on your list. Rushin' Tailor's next door is better for fabric and needlearts.
Ships can dock at different Skagway piers. The Broadway shops are usually a straightforward walk or shuttle from the waterfront.
