I have seen that" I love this yarn" at other places. I know that my Walmart is sharing space with Red Heart and Lion Brand. Not all of the colors I like but I did find Caron Simply Soft, for a baby blanket I am making and except for it Spliting, it is very soft.
Several years ago before I retired I bought alot of my yarn from EBAY, and also from Hersheners.com They have nice yarn.
Also when I worked at Hobby Lobby, they told us that all they made themselves was the Candles. Everything else probably came from overseas. or someplace like that.

Every walmart anywhere has the same policy.The only thing is you must pay when you order. There is a site-to-store in every walmart. Most are located where the old layaway was. Just ask an associate and they will tell you where it is and explain the details.

I was excited when I heard a Hobby Lobby was opening in my area. Now I'm not so sure!

Before Walmart we had lots more stores of every kind with various selections of products....especially yarn and material....most of these smaller, dedicated useful stores went out of business because of Walmart....and Wally doesn't have the space to stock the more off-beat types that the smaller ones had....but can't stay in business with because Walmart stocks the most popular stuff and takes the money from the little guy that would have kept his store open and we could find more variety

miss Catbalou you are so right that the little guys could not stay open because of Walmart. I love Hobby Lobby and Joann. But in Joann I can get better help they take the time to help you out when you need a question answered or to find something. But when I buy yarn in Walmart it is second rated not the best quality yarn. I had to get Red Heart yarn from Walmart today because Hobby Lobby and Joann is an hour away. I want to make a Rabbit Purse the pattern came from Annie's for my Great Granddaughter Though it was reasonable it was $2.77 cents for a 7 oz. scan of yarn. I got yellow, pink, white and a pom pom maker. Does anyone know what a hook and loop tape is. That baffled the one who assisted me. I guess I got to go to Joann and get it. Well you ladies have a nice day.

Hook and tape is also known as Velcro.

Inexpensive yarns
Have any of you ladies tried the yarn from Knit Picks? They carry some beautiful stuff- I have used the Brava which is acrylic. It is $2.99 a skein, on sale often for $2.69. They also have a nice super wash wool that's under $3. I love their yarn- great s/h prices, and wonderful customer service. I have been a die hard Red Heart fan for many years, but this has encouraged me to try new things.
