Do not be deluded into believing that "Joann Fabric" is a fabric store. This is not the truth! Do not fall prey to the lies that they want to you believe... Oh, ok, in all seriousness, it's not that bad of a store. They've got a good selection of trendy fabrics that seem to rotate in pretty fast and a much larger selection of good ol' quilting calico. But their main claim to fame is their craft section, which is filled with awesome scrapbooking, beading, painting, and other craft supplies. I have only two complaints with this store - One is the fact that they seem to carry a very limited amount of yarn, which, with the popularity of knitting these days, seems dumb to me. The other complaint is that, as a sewer who focuses on historical (i.e. Medieval and other pre-polyester eras) sewing, I have never found either 100% wool or 100% linen in this fabric store, which is a source of great vexation for me. So call 'em as you see 'em: Joann Crafts, and Some Fabrics but Not Much.
