About Joann
For decades, Joann was the place crafters went when they needed fabric by the yard, yarn for a winter project, or supplies for a kid's school diorama at the last minute. It started as a fabric shop and grew into a sprawling chain that quilters, sewists, and seasonal-decor diehards treated as home base. If you ever cut a Simplicity pattern or stocked up on flannel in October, you knew the aisles.
Here's the hard part, though: Joann is closed for good. After bankruptcy filings, the company wound down its stores in 2025, so there's no longer a place to shop or a return window to count on. If you're holding old receipts or store credit, those won't help you now. We're keeping this page up mostly for context — and as a nudge to find your fabric and craft supplies elsewhere.
What they sell
- Fabric by the yard — quilting cottons, fleece, flannel, and seasonal prints, plus the cutting counter most people remember
- Yarn and needlework — Red Heart, Lion Brand, and Bernat, with knitting needles and crochet hooks to match
- Sewing patterns and notions — Simplicity and McCall's patterns, thread, zippers, and the occasional sewing machine
- Seasonal and floral crafts — faux flowers, wreaths, and the big Halloween and Christmas DIY decor hauls
- General craft supplies — kids' kits, paint, glue guns, and the random project odds and ends
