About

Juneau Woolies started in a kitchen in 2022 and has grown to a brick- and- mortar location starting January 2026!

Nestled in the heart of Juneau, Alaska on Lingít Aaní, Juneau Woolies is more than just a fiber shop—it’s a cozy nook for community, creativity, and art. Dedicated to supporting the local fiber arts community, Juneau Woolies welcomes weavers, knitters, crocheters, spinners, felters, and textile artists of all kinds. Find locally made hand dyed yarn and fibers, tools, notions and fiber art.

Juneau Woolies is owned and operated by Tess Olympia, a hard of hearing single parent. It started out of a love for rabbits and discovery of spinning and dying fibers. From there, it sparked all kinds of colorful yarns.

Tess is a Master of Color Alchemy, meaning just about any color can be made with a bit of science, art and a pinch of magic.
