Tragic news has hit the craft world. Joann Fabrics, a fan favorite among craft stores, has announced the closures of hundreds of stores across the U.S..

Many makers, including myself were scared of the news. I was so anxious my local store would be one of many to close its doors. Luckily, my local store is safe as of now. This USA Today article I have linked below provides more details on the closures and provides a list of stores affected.
UPDATE 2/25/25
News has just been released that Joann will be closing all stores nationwide. Check in on your yarn and craft friends today, folks. I know this news is upsetting to me. Perhaps there will be a silver lining in all of this with amazing sales.
