Sarah,

Hello! Our Walmart has cut down on the crafts department considerably. This has been some time ago. I always try to go to Hobby Lobby when I go to Joplin which is about 20ish minutes away from here. They always have so much more there to choose from.

The Walmart in my area has cut back the yarn, crochet hooks and kitting needles to the point that it is only has about 15 diffrent colors of only red hart and very few of the other items. This has upset me very much because there is not a craft store in my town and the nearest city is over an hour away. Walmart really needs to get their act together.

it just made me so sad that they would cut down on something useful and expand the electronics even more. I don't mind some things but the video games are gruesome and bad for children to play. Walmart was the place I got all my yarn for my first blanket so I'm just so bummed. I'm sorry your Walmart had done the same thing. - Sarah

good morning sarah1313, my walmart has just made new lay out changes to the craft section by adding new items, but they have not made the yarn wall smaller. we have half a wall of yarn and the other half is with material. the reason my wal-mart's yarn department is huge is because we had a ben franklin's store go out of business. if i want to travel another 25 miles further i have a joanne's, michael's, and hobby lobby too. i willl go once a month for those stores and print off their coupon's which is 40% off of any item and buy some yarn with it. i always drag my boyfriend with me so he can get an extra ball of yarn lol ") . my wal-mart never did carry wooden hooks.QUOTE=sarah1313;13708]My Walmart has recently cut down their yarn,crochet, and knitting section to a small isle and they have no wooden hooks.

I have noticed this too. I am truly not happy about this. It's also started at Zellers. Not sure if some of the Zellers stores which will be taken over by Target will carry yarn. I know some Zellers stores are having a big sale to get rid of all of their inventory. will have to stock up just in case.

We have two Walmarts within 25 minutes of each other! One has a great craft section and the other doesn't! I like to buy yarn at Walmart because it is always so much cheaper than in Joanns or AC Moore! I have been finding some nice yarns at dollar stores! They don't all have yarn all the time-you have to keep looking! And I've heard people find yarn at Salvation Army stores and Goodwill stores! Again you have to keep looking!

Same here in PA. Has been like that for awhile now. The only place to get fabric is Joanns

I have also noticed that our Walmart here is changing. They've expanded the electronics and food sections and decreased crafts sections. My yarn was in an isle instead of the wall. And not as much selection. I do have a question where are hobby lobbies?
