To continue my review of fabric resources in the area now that JOANN Fabrics has closed, I checked out our local Michaels store. I also just saw the headline that Michaels has bought out JOANN’s. If a JOANN’s store reopens near you, know that it is owned by Michaels. Interesting.
Anyway, I stopped by our local store to see what was happening. Just in the last several weeks, they seem to have expanded their fabric collection.
Ribbon selection is good.
Embroidery floss looks all organized.
They still have their wide collection of yarn, although I don’t know if they’ve begun incorporating the brands from JOANN’s.
They have some cut and packaged pieces, but WalMart seems to have a much broader selection.
They have this standard display of thread.
They have a small selection of batting and stuffing.
Within days of JOANN’s closing, Michaels had this sign on their State College store!
I can see, eventually, there will be more fabric choices around town. Depending on where you live, you may also have a favorite independent fabric store near you. It’s nice to know I still have choices near me, but I might have to look a little harder to find which store has what I need. Enjoy!
