Hi, you know what I don't like about Michaels (which isn't much) you can not use there coupons on any books or mags. I try to go to joanns but my luck they have a 10% off that week. I get so many of my patterens off the computer. But some times I would like a book to look back on. Im not a fast learner. I've been working on a lovely bag and have started it about five times now. I know the patteren by hart. LOL
good stiches

I buy 90% of my yarns online. But there are a couple of very nice specialty yarn shops here in town that I'll get to a couple of times each year.

I usually go to Joann's or Michael's. For fancy or specialized yarn I go to a local yarn shop called Anna's Yarn Shoppe or buy online.

I have to shop at Walmart the most, but now and then I take the hour drive to Michaels, and the newly opened Joann fabric and hobby lobby. I was thrilled to have them come to our area.

Our Walmarts (there are 2 within my driving distance) got rid of a lot of their craft stuff - yarn included. That was a bummer. I'd rather go to Joann's than Michael's myself, but I do enjoy going to the local specialty yarn shop. Everyone in there is great and very helpful.

I usually shop AC Moore or Hobby Lobby. We have a New Michael's opening soon...so you know I'll be there as well!

I wish we had a Hobby Lobby close enough to me. At least I can buy stuff from their online store.

We have three Walmarts in driving distance of us, they cut back and tried to cut out the yarns at ours also, but I have been told they had so many complaints that they put them back. So why not find a manager to complain to, or if you can find a website to complain to. It can't hurt to try. Maybe they will bring them back for you if you get enough people to help you out.
Good luck.
