Is anyone else sad about Joann closing nationwide in America?
Extra blabbing
I’ve got lots of memories shopping there with my late grandma and now Mom. It was a great beginner yarn shop with affordable fiber. I was really grateful to have a yarn store so lose to home.
Luckily, I’ve done some digging and found an actual LYS (local yarn store), and tis absolutely lovely. So cute, so community driven and friendly. And oh my lord, so much yarn, needles, hooks, and notions. A drool fest.
But also a coffin for my wallet. Better fiber means higher prices. I’m less eager to drop $50+ dollars on socks or a shawl. Who knows what a sweater would cost 
I’m trying to be a little optimistic and frame it as this:
The higher prices will make me be more intentional with what patterns I choose to cast on and force me to practice saving my money respoonsibly haha.
Where are you guys buying your fiber now? Are you planning a Joann haul before all the doors close? My fingers are itching to just stock up on all the discount yarn I can before it’s gone, but my wallet is already whining.
