I loved my Joann Fabrics store. It had a great selection of fabrics and yarns on site as well as other craft materials when I needed them. Unfortunately, the chain has been struggling to stay open and finally lost the fight a couple of months ago.
Since
then, I’ve been trying to find a good replacement with no success.
There
is a Michaels close to where Joann was, but their selection of yarn is poor,
especially compared to what Joann’s had. And even though a sign in Michaels’
window says that fabrics are here, the fabric selection is laughable.
Someone
told me to try Hobby Lobby, but that is a half-hour away in a direction I
rarely go. Even so, I checked it out when I was in the area. It has a better
selection than Michaels but not nearly what I was used to at Joann.
The
internet is another option, but it has its own problems. The colors aren’t
always true, and descriptions can be deceiving or even missing important
information. I need to see and touch the yarn—and especially the fabric—to be sure
I know what I am getting. Even so, the internet may be my go-to for yarn from
now on since I can at least find brands I know and like.
But
I want my Joann Fabrics back.
