So fun seeing how yarns work up. You are getting some incredible deals and beautiful yarn. No need to feel ashamed or embarrassed or judged or apologetic about buying way more than you can use right now. Buy what you want. :) Especially the yarn that is being discontinued. No one else has any more right to those yarns than you do. Buy what you want. Ignore the bully trolls. I hope the whole yarn community will stop giving in to them for any reason. Yarn is for sale. Anyone can buy it. :)
That’s how I look at it. The company that puts it for sale, asks a price, we as consumers can partake if we choose. The business needs to move stock, as in sell things, whether it’s JoAnn or another store. Selling stock helps them to pay salaries and keep the lights on. When I buy stuff I’m not taking from others, I’m giving to the store to help pay salaries.
@ I agree. I think I’m going to regret not going in and grabbing a bunch of the big twist value. I’ve gotten a bunch of the new yarns and am rapidly running out of space.
I completely agree with you about the clearance prices! The only time it’s been worth it was when they had an additional in-store discount on top of the clearance, and even then I only purchased because I needed a couple more skeins to finish a project. I’m thankful we can take advantage of this latest combo of sales + coupons as a sort of loyalty discount
Hello, Mrs. Shannon! Thank you for all of your nice yarn videos! I’d be interested in a simple knitting make-a-long for beginners. I want to pick up knitting again but I’m not sure where to start.
OH SHANNON!!! Those blocks are beautiful!!! I can hardly wait to see the afhgan completed!! I know it will be wonderful!!!! I was looking at your amigrumi pieces , which I absolutely LOVE!!! I wish mine turned out as cute!!! YOU always put a smile on my face every day!!!! I just wish you could be on longer and go live!!!! Well SWEET LADY, I need to keep going on my hats, I wat to try to get 20 of them done by the weekend!! Then it's back to sweater making!! I did go and find those sweater pattern you talked about, I just need to print them!!! Have a wonderful day, stay well and stay safe!!! I will watch you tomorrow!!! HUGS from vicky in Michigan!!!!
Hi Shannon, you’ve got me thinking about yarns in my stash that I wasn’t sure what to do with but loved the colors. Love all of those squares you made so far. 🧶🫂
I picked up a bunch of sock weight yarn at a thrift store and wasn't sure what to do with it. I might try the Natures Walk Blanket....your squares are gloriously chaotic.
My JoAnn’s App was totally freaking out this morning but I was able to put ANOTHER order in to pick up (thanks for the code). I picked up some of the K + C cotton.
Hi Shannon. Mom wanted me to order her a crochet blanket kit from hers hen ears…ok that I will end up doing because I think with her dementia she won’t be able to follow the pattern. That’ll be my big project. Otherwise I’m still working on the bears, rabbit, and cat stuffies with outfits.
Well, Joann cxled the order of Lilly @ 1.70 I guess they don’t want to take that much care of us, lol. It all right, they have stopped my buying for good 😊 I got enough to last a loooong time.
I was at joanns today. My particular store is well stocked with no overtones of a company going belly up. Christmas stuff is 70% off but otherwise, they're stocking spring items and yarn (I can see that perhaps they're getting stock from already closed stores). No yarns sale tags for yarn and no crowds hurrying to get supplies before they do go out of business. I wonder if others are seeing the same thing?
Shannon,I order 6 different colors, 2 of each of the big twist petites…2 managerial, 2 jellybeans, and 2 power flowers. I snap a pic and send it to you when I get it.
Funny was just working on a sock wip I found n forgot in stash ! Its made of the Norville Serenity . Couldn't figure out why I stopped, holiday or something. Anyhow, found my pattern notes with and the magazine. I began to work on it and noticed right away its splity and thin in spots. I saw the cuff was a bit fluffy an is prone to pill. Its a pretty pattern soIve gone ahead and turned the heel ,finished te gusset. So the socks will be finished and its apretty pink n green stripe effect. Would I buy again? No ! Not anything like the pair I just finished in Mountain Colors Anne ! Im spoiled 😂 But a test swatch is definitely called for since I have big feet and need them to wear well! 😊👍
That’s some fortitude, you grabbed the sock and are finishing it. You’ll be happy when it’s done. I get it in the yarn, what we loved yesterday, we might not live today. I’m proud, you picked up a WIP, made a decision and are sticking to it.
Shannon, I make 3 hats a day depending on what the stitches are. Sometimes I can make almost 4 but that's only if I stay up late!!!! I have 10 done and only 10 more to go!!! Also I am only using 1 color!! Some people wanted just plain hats so that's what they are getting!! Very plain!! Also I am crocheting them, no knitting them! I save the knitted hats for people I know!! I think all that work at the doctors office have special hats, But these are for the patients!!! We are all over 5o-55 years old!! You could say we are the geriatrics of Michigan!!! I just hope I wil be able to make scarfs for next winter!!! My last scarf took me 4 days but I still have to block it! UGH!!! all for now my dear sweet friend!!! Have a great night, stay safe and stay well!!! HUGS. Vicky from Michagin!!!
It is highly possible that the liquidators are going to sell off the stock to other stores like Ollie's and Dollar Tree. When Bed Bath and Beyond was liqidated a lot of their stock showed up at Ollie's a month later. Often liquidators want to clear out the stock quickly by the case instead of running liquidation sales to the general public and have to open the stock and fill the shelves. My sister used to work for a liquidation store (back in the 80's) and they would get huge shipments for pennies on the dollar which is how stores like that can sell items at such low prices and still make a profit.
That’s a very good point, so if we see the yarn at other stores it’s not totally dead yet! 😉I remember finding yarn At Tuesday morning and also Big Lots. I think that’s what happened there too.
Hi! Just got some of the kc sock yarn at my local Joanne’s. Paid $2.83 each. I may want to pair with a solid color. Any recommendations on what fiber content I should use?
Not sure what you mean by Joann not taking anymore shipping orders. They are, from customers. They arent taking anymore shipments/deliveries from wherever they get their stock. They are refusing anymore stock for each store. Whatever the store has, thats not getting replenished. You can still make orders, shipping as well as pickup. :)
I had the same experience lol! I wanted that exact color for the sock yarn - went to the store on Monday and found two skeins 😊My nephew wants a bucket hat out of it of all things ha ha but I’ve been trying to get that color for a while Also, I do the same thing. I’m having so much fun hopping from one project to the other. No timeline, I just love working on what ever I’m in the mood to work on. My husband is so sweet and says he just likes to see me happy (I’m so lucky). He says as long as I keep him supplied with a blanket and beanie when he wants one. I agree with you in regards to the liquidation. I was a regular with BB&B and couldn’t find anything I wanted when the liquidation happened and didn’t buy anything b/c it was more than regularly. I’ve also had the same experience with the Joann’s sales. The clearance prices is always more and I couldn’t get the prices I would get when it was on sale w/an in-store purchase coupon. I’m always hoping someone will swoop in but preparing for that not to happen.
Yes, you just confirmed my suspicion. I really believe we are getting the head nod from JoAnn now. We are getting the “clearance” prices when you add in the coupon now. If they have it and you want it, mows the time to get it. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
@@anotheryarn ok, SO, I went to three Joann’s today 😊At the last one, a manager checked me out and he was telling me he just got off a conference call. He said that he was told on the call that there are currently three interested parties, two are liquidators but the third party is NOT, however, because of the agreements made thus far, they are unable to disclose the name of the third party but that news is VERY good. He even showed me an e-mail and also encouraged me to share a hashtag so that customers can really show the one interested party that we are wanting it to stay open. #EverybodyLovesJOANN is the hash tag they are hoping to spread and share POSITIVE stores 🥰 He provided me the e-mail that was sent out right after the conference call this afternoon and I took a screenshot. I’ll quote it here for you. It’s not all of it but this is what he was able to show me “…The response from our JOANN community has been heartwarming, with countless customers sharing their touching stories about what our brand means to them. We kindly encourage all our Team Members to spread the word that #Everybodylovesjoann movement welcomes everyone, including our customers, especially those eager to learn how they can support Joann during this time! Customers can use the #EverybodyLovesJOANN to highlight their positive stores about JOANN. Each day at 3pm EST, we’ll be sharing examples JOANN’s meaningful impact on our customers, communities, and one another on our social media platforms. “ He said that the meeting leaders are very hopeful in regards to the 3rd party that is showing interest and hopes this hashtag will help them understand that Joann could be a great asset! :) 🤞 …ya, I’m still panic buying though 🤣
Shannon love the squares.thanks for sharing❤
It’s all crafty goodness, it just bubbles out of me.
You were so right,,,,, I was able to get it at my local JoAnn's store. It will go great with my jeans. Thanks a lot for showing us your yarn!!!!!!🥰🥰
I'm so glad it worked out for you! 🥳

Oh my goodness I need to learn how to make socks. Love the yarn today. I've already bought lots of yarn now I think I need more...
The prices are amazing, these are seriously discounted. I’ve done my fair share of stocking up.
@anotheryarn yes I've been buying too. 25% off and pickup in store buying yarn for about 1.50-2.50 a skein is great deals on big twist.
@ I agree. I think I’m going to regret not going in and grabbing a bunch of the big twist value. I’ve gotten a bunch of the new yarns and am rapidly running out of space.

That’s really my thought process in this. This is JoAnn giving a last nod before the liquidators get ahold of it.
I love how they work up.
@@Beeknottycrochet it’s nice getting an idea how things will work up.
Your new sock yarn will make a gorgeous blanket of squares.
It’s funny, today I realized none of these colors match each other 😆
Hello, Mrs. Shannon! Thank you for all of your nice yarn videos! I’d be interested in a simple knitting make-a-long for beginners. I want to pick up knitting again but I’m not sure where to start.
Ugh another snowstorm tryg to knit my way to happiness
Ohhhh, that makes the graphs make a lot more sense.....
It’s the little things that make a difference. Your going to be reading charts in no time.
OH SHANNON!!! Those blocks are beautiful!!! I can hardly wait to see the afhgan completed!! I know it will be wonderful!!!! I was looking at your amigrumi pieces , which I absolutely LOVE!!!

Vicky that’s a really serious goal, 20 hats by the weekend. I wish you luck on your crafty endeavors.
Hi Shannon, you’ve got me thinking about yarns in my stash that I wasn’t sure what to do with but loved the colors. Love all of those squares you made so far. 🧶🫂
The fun thing about these is they are quick little “projects”. I feel pretty accomplished each one I make. I was surprised to have had 9 done already.
I picked up a bunch of sock weight yarn at a thrift store and wasn't sure what to do with it. I might try the Natures Walk Blanket....your squares are gloriously chaotic.
I just realized none of my colors really go together 🤭it’s ok, it will all work out in the end.
My JoAnn’s App was totally freaking out this morning but I was able to put ANOTHER order in to pick up (thanks for the code). I picked up some of the K + C cotton.
My app has flaked out a couple times over the last week. I’m tenacious, it works 😆
Happy to have helped with the code
Thank you for showing more and more yarns. I have placed 3 orders from Joann's. I'm glad the coupon is over soon😂😂😂. ❤❤❤
It is a slippery slope! 😉
Hi Shannon. Mom wanted me to order her a crochet blanket kit from hers hen ears…ok that I will end up doing because I think with her dementia she won’t be able to follow the pattern. That’ll be my big project. Otherwise I’m still working on the bears, rabbit, and cat stuffies with outfits.
Great news! My Aberdeen order for 3 Mystery Bags from 12/30 has shipped! So excited🧶😎
That is super exciting, mine also shipped. I’m thrilled
You’re right about what happens when liquidators take over.
That’s what I was thinking. It’s like JoAnn is trying to take care of their loyal customers before the end.
I thought that as well, I just got Lily sugar for 1.70 per roll and it wasn’t the smaller rolls with ur code,….:oD
@@Yarnimamess333 fantastic, happy you are getting your supplies at a discount
Well, Joann cxled the order of Lilly @ 1.70 I guess they don’t want to take that much care of us, lol. It all right, they have stopped my buying for good 😊 I got enough to last a loooong time.
@ I’m so sorry you have had issues with your orders. I think it’s hit or miss on the orders going through.
Okay, I love your logic, and I have charts or patterns but none with both, so free pattern downloaded so I have something with both.
It’s a great way to compare and learn a new skill. Happy to help.
@anotheryarn and being squares it will be something that can be a summer project too which is a plus since I don't have AC.
@ that’s a good point. These are like tiny little projects. With only 8 rounds per block they work up quickly too.
@@anotheryarn oh wow, that will be quick!
@@GoingGreenMom I think that’s why I 9 of them done before I even realized it.

Seeing and hearing about stores like this really make me hope they are going to close some underperforming stores and rebuild with what is left.

That is such an aggressive goal. Smart move on knocking out the crochet hats, they work up faster.
My mom's local JoAnn store in New Mexico has closed. She was just there 4 or 5 days ago, today it was closed.
That is so sad. I’m still hoping some get closed but the company is saved.
Well I’m nearing the finish line of my latest granny square blanket with 35 12 row squares 😳 I’ll be glad to be done tho
My squares are 8 rounds so just about the time the round starts to take a little time, you are done. It’s a great feel good piece.

Check out Gary at Urban yarn, he's made the nature's walk All of the squares and he shows the blanket completely it's stunning 😊
I’ll have to do that, thank you.
Hi! Just got some of the kc sock yarn at my local Joanne’s. Paid $2.83 each. I may want to pair with a solid color. Any recommendations on what fiber content I should use?
Try to keep with the woo/nylon blend if you can.
@ thanks! Just got the hanks of hand dyed kc yarn. Soooo beautiful! Thanks for the tips on what to get before Joanne’s closes. Val.
@@veegee704 what color(s) did you get? Do you already have plans for it?
@ I will most likely make some kind of garment for my daughter. She wants a spring outfit will let her decide.

@@anotheryarn Ah. I see. I was confused a bit. Lol.
