Michaels in Anchorage is a destination for crafters, offering a wonderful variety of products including art supplies, fabric, yarn, and seasonal decor. The staff is generally described as helpful and kind. Customers can usually find what they are looking for, though some note the fabric and quilting material selection is still improving and the yarn and fiber tool selection can be disappointing. The store provides party supplies and balloon inflation. While the self-checkout and an occasional unhelpful attendant received criticism, many emphasize it is a must-visit creative haven, especially now that other craft stores have closed.
