I find the stores themselves unpleasant places. The stores near me are old, stale, and somewhat messy. There are lovely yarn shops with cozy atmospheres in my city that I can shop in. There are yarn shops that exist online and shops all over the world that also sell online that have better quality yarns. Why would I want to go to Joann Fabrics? They brought this on themselves for failing to keep up.
