My H.L. lost 2 yarn aisles in this reset. I asked the cashier what was going on & she said they were making roam to start selling Bed, Bath & Beyond products. What the heck? Those guys are sadly going out of business for a reason.
It seems like my local Hobby Lobby has about half as much yarn after the clearance and they are replacing a whole yarn isle with decorating stuff. :(. :(. I'm so sad!! And there is no more sock yarn. I'm going to cry.
The earthquakes in Turkey may well have a knock on effect for yarn production generally as they are the yarn spinners of the world & there are already concerns about damaged machinery.
A lot of yarn is imported from other countries, and that maybe the problem. The stores here in Texas have lots of yarn, but you never can tell, may change. Texas stores have the yarn in the back part of their stores. I see a lot of yarn on your video.
Thanks for the heads up. I don't need yarn right now, but I like to keep extra on hand for that inspiration moment, and I don't have time to go out, or it's not on sale. I won't buy regular price unless I need just one more skein.
My store in Michigan did get rid of our non hobby lobby brand yarns. Also, I heard that they are changing their craft isles to make room for more furniture.
They started marking the yarn down at 2 of my hobby lobby stores today! I heard they want to remodel where the yarn section is and so the yarn clearance is starting early this year!😻
At least your Hobby Lobby is having a sale. I went to the one by me today there was "no" sale on yarn. It's practically mid-March and no yarn sale. I can't believe it.
I was excited when a Hobby Lobby opened in a nearby town. That excitement died quickly. I wanted to buy some yarn and a pattern for a baby blanket. I needed a pattern. No patterns or pattern books! I was told all Hobby Lobby stores have discontinued all patterns and pattern books. I’m also a quilter. I like to pick out a pattern then find yarn or material. I’m not about to go to two different stores so I guess it back to Joann’s or on line. Disappointing.
Just like walmart they want you to look at other things while you shop for yarn. I noticed they were changing things up this weekend in our store but didn't have long to investigate lol. I will be going back tomorrow to check it out a little bit more. We need their yarn it's some of the best and we'll organized. Other than that it's Joanns for yarn which isn't bad, but hobby lobby is my favorite place to shop for yarn.
Same with the Hobby Lobby in Johnson City Tennessee. Where the yarn used to be, picture frames and baskets. Used to have 6 yarn isles now there’s 2. There’s supposedly a yarn shortage because of the earthquakes in Turkey but I also believe Hobby Lobby is revamping all their stores 😢kinda sad
I went today to Hobby Lobby for some yarn for the project that I’m working on, but I’ll go back tomorrow. I saw so many employees doing resetting today.
I called both of my stores here & was told they are no longer going the semi annual clearance sales. I'm so bummed seeing almost everyone re stocking their stashes bc post holidays I'm down to very little yarn. Also they won't honor clearance prices on line🙄
I haven't been to my Hobby Lobby for a while - I have no room for more yarn at the moment! So I don't know if they've relocated our yarns. I'll have to check that out! I hope they do move it closer to the front, though I always joke after I've been to HL I've put in my steps for the day. Thanks for sharing!
I went a few days ago. They were moving the yarn section but only about 4 rows, so about mid way now - a little better. They said the clearance sale has been TWO WEEKS earlier so I missed out on that. :(
I was worried when I first saw no yarn. That’s the only place I go with the exception of small yarn stores and webs. I so happy they still carry yarn and in front of the store is so much better for me!! Thanks for sharing!
One Hobby Lobby in my area has marked down their yarn, but the one I usually go to hasn’t marked it down yet. However they were changing a lot of the aisles around, and added a large card section in the sewing department.
The only HL store I have is a long drive and I have never been there. So, I am wondering about their quantity and selection of chrochet and knitting books? All the videos I have seen are yarn and hooks, needles, etc.
Oh my gosh! I thought you were going to say Hobby Lobby was going to quit carrying yarn and I was about to cry. Hobby lobby is the only store in my area that has a decent selection. Walmart is horrible, Joann has a lot of space for yarn but it’s not stocked and michaels is the worst!
Omigosh I so sorry I scared you!! 😭😂 I was scared to death when I went to the back and there was no yarn! The Joann’s in my area are ok, but all of the Michael’s are going way downhill as far as yarn is concerned 😭
Yes I was scared! Glad you found the yarn. I hear on FB some hobby lobby stores have started their annual yarn clearance already! Guess I'm going to be checking often. I wasn't prepared for that. Have a great night Ginger
Ginger, what are you making with those lovely colors? Also, what city is your HL located in? I'm in the Central Texas area with 3 HL's within 30 min driving time. Lots of blue tape on the floors and tons of aisles getting moved around. Talk about a floorplan revamp! Serious clearance only happening at 1 store so far. 🤔
My hobby lobby had a lot of yarn but a lot of it was on sale 😆 I bought $406 worth for $108 today. But definitely need to find another store to buy yarn
LOL it's ok Ginger, HL would never stop selling yarn, they know better than to do that. Half of their customer base would be gone! lol. Some HL's however, are starting to clearance there yarn, but it's very few. I know that my HL usually starts around June.
I’m pretty sure we are starting to feel the shortage now due to China lock down a couple of months back. We’ve been talking about it and preparing for our temperature blankets.
Today my Hobby Lobby had less isles of yarn 🧶 and a long line of shopping carts at the back of store full of yarn. No indication where they’re moving to in the store.
MN stores are marking down. Didn't hit the 2 I go to as I didn't have the time and I really didn't need more. I spent about $38. at the Maplewood store. Kept it small.
I encountered the same fright at the Hobby Lobby near me in Rhode Island! Lol! I’m hoping they’re just trying to make it more appealing and not diminish the amount of yarn offered. 🙂
I had noticed in my Hobby Lobby last week that they were moving the yarn aisles. Not sure if I like where they are moving them too, but just very happy they still have all their yarn. I guess we all will have to adapt to their changes. I definitely need to get back to mine and see what is going on and if any thing is on sale. Thanks Ginger for the great information and the heads up.
I have not stepped inside Hobby Lobby for 2 years now! I am glad you found the yarn! I go to Michaels and Joann or Walmart. I make hats for homeless so Acrylic is pretty easy to find. Even Red Heart has gone way up in price!! Yikes 😬
You might try Ebay....sometimes you get a huge box of acrylic yarn for barely anything and the usually include shipping. You meet such nice ladies that have retired because of arthritis ....Give it a try Love from Debbie and Dexter-Dog my rescued Chihuahua companion. 💕👍🐰🐤🐣🐥🐦🐝🌻✝️✝️🇺🇸
I only buy yarn at Hobby Lobby on sale and when I do, I walk out with huge bargains on quality yarn. And I use it up! I hate Walmart yarn selection. Joanne has gotten too expensive unless you find a sale.
The I Love This Yarn by Hobby Lobby (the softest, best yarn ever) costs the same as crappy red heart super saver on their 30% off weeks, which is every other week!!!
Stores routinely moves aisles around. It’s odd that she’s panicking about it. I only go to Hobby Lobby if desperate. I’d order online before I’d buy from them.
I was told that they reduced the yarn to make room for more seasonal (junk) items! I never buy seasonal items and they seemed to have enough of them before. Our HL is looking more like a dollar store than the hobby store it started out being.
Well it's nice to see not all your yarn has disappeared as in the Hobby Lobby by me. I was so lost and confused. We have only three aisles of yarn mostly all I love This Yarn only and a select few others. I didn't see any much of notions at all. No bag of buttons or ribbons etc. Maybe I'm hoping they were till putting it together.
I have not been to my Hobby Lobby since December last year. I noticed the good lighting in your store. I always have to take out my phone flashlight to see the yarn colors correctly. Maybe they move the yarn for the better lighting?
We have lost a entire isle from both Michaels and hobby lobbies they have increased fabric areas no red heart only place that has it is Walmart and its slim pickens .
A lot of hobby lobby stores are rearranging their stores the closet location for me has been rearranging for awhile they didnt have any cross stitch items on their shelves
You are so funny Ginger! "I don't do well with change!" I think I got that. Lol But now I have to go to both of my local Hobby Lobby stores and see if they have moved their stuff around. I also need to pick up a couple more skeins of some I love this Cotton for a cardigan I am making for the summer. I also want to see if they have started their clearance. Otherwise I will wait until next week because I missed the 30% off sale week. 😬. Hope you have your heart beat and blood pressure back to normal now. But seriously, don't scare us like that. It's not nice! 😁😁😁 🕊️❤️💡
I got a little frightened there! I ❤️❤️❤️ Hobby Lobby yarn and would be so upset if they reduced stock permanently. I’m heading there tomorrow so I’ll check out the status of the Kissimmee, FL stores yarn supply.
Hi Ginger! Snow White here, lol. You scared the beejeezees out of me, girl. With all the changes going on at Hobby Lobby, I wouldn't be surprised if they quit carrying non-Hobby Lobby brands. Whew, I'm you figured it all out! 😊❤
Sadly they got rid a lot of yarn’s and fabrics too bring more seasonal..😢 they’re getting rid a lot of their own brand 100% along with others. Looks like they’re keeping acrylics and cotton.. Your store is loaded compared to our stores here…
My Hobby Lobby still has the yarn in the same place but the selection has decreased DRAMATICALLY! No Lion Brand or the yarns that are in the hanks. So disappointed. I will still buy there but now I tend to stop at Michael’s or Joann’s more.
Oh my goodness I have been under a rock I guess. Started a project moths ago and need more. But they don't have it 😭😔😭😔😭😭 I'm gonna cry. We're can I find what they used to carry. Because I can't find the packaging so I don't know the name.

When I was stationed in Biloxi, ms the hobby lobby there was set up like this. They had just set up like that right after they opened during covid.
A lot of yarn is imported from other countries, and that maybe the problem. The stores here in Texas have lots of yarn, but you never can tell, may change. Texas stores have the yarn in the back part of their stores. I see a lot of yarn on your video.
My exact thoughts
Thanks for the heads up. I don't need yarn right now, but I like to keep extra on hand for that inspiration moment, and I don't have time to go out, or it's not on sale. I won't buy regular price unless I need just one more skein.
At our local store, quite a bit of the hand dyed hanks have been clearanced.
I heard they are making their yarn selection smaller after the clearance 😭
My store in Michigan did get rid of our non hobby lobby brand yarns. Also, I heard that they are changing their craft isles to make room for more furniture.
More Furniture? Ug! We want Yarn!!!🤣
Right!
Not to bad! There’s always Joann’s but I’m like u Ginger don’t take to change very well. Thanks for sharing! Have a good night!!

My Hobby Lobby moved locations. When they did, they downsized the yarn department WAY down. Made me sad. 😢😢
I ordered a kit from an ad I saw on Instagram for Mary Maxim early one morning. I figured it would take a while to get. I had it the next day!! Wow!
I just bought two huge bags full of clearance yarn from there.
I went today to Hobby Lobby for some yarn for the project that I’m working on, but I’ll go back tomorrow. I saw so many employees doing resetting today.
I went to hobby lobby today in Texas, scored two big bags of sale yarn, I got thirty or so skeins for just over $60.
Woohoo
Me too in new Orleans
Hobby Lobby keeps such a clean ,organized yarn area.Think that's why I enjoy going .
yes I was worried about no yarn because my Hobby Lobby just opened last April
I was reading where they are going to have a big white tag clearance in the whole store. Yarn is going to be HB only.
Yes I was,my hobby lobby is going to open up after being closed for years 😮
I went today to my Hobby Lobby and no yarn on sale- Non all regular prices. Next week will be 30% of like every second week- I'm in Florida 😢
I called both of my stores here & was told they are no longer going the semi annual clearance sales. I'm so bummed seeing almost everyone re stocking their stashes bc post holidays I'm down to very little yarn. Also they won't honor clearance prices on line🙄
I swear I was like WHAT!! I am gonna go see if the yarns gone at my Hobby Lobby too!! Thank goodness you found it!!
I haven't been to my Hobby Lobby for a while - I have no room for more yarn at the moment! So I don't know if they've relocated our yarns. I'll have to check that out!

mines doing the exact same thing !!
The only HL store I have is a long drive and I have never been there. So, I am wondering about their quantity and selection of chrochet and knitting books? All the videos I have seen are yarn and hooks, needles, etc.
So glad you found the yarn after all! 😀
Oh my gosh! I thought you were going to say Hobby Lobby was going to quit carrying yarn and I was about to cry. Hobby lobby is the only store in my area that has a decent selection. Walmart is horrible, Joann has a lot of space for yarn but it’s not stocked and michaels is the worst!

Really glad the yarn is still at Hobby Lobby since that is the only place other than Walmart that I have local and can get yarn
Yeah, Hobby Lobby does have the best yarn in my area too! Good morning Judy!🥰
Yes I was scared! Glad you found the yarn. I hear on FB some hobby lobby stores have started their annual yarn clearance already! Guess I'm going to be checking often. I wasn't prepared for that. Have a great night Ginger

Hi LL! I’m in Lawrence, Kansas! 😊Our store is slowly moving things around, but hasn’t time to everything yet. Have a wonderful day!🥰
Lol I know all hobby lobby stores are made to look the same with the same layout but this hobby lobby looks just like ours in Spanish fork! Haha
My hobby lobby had a lot of yarn but a lot of it was on sale 😆 I bought $406 worth for $108 today. But definitely need to find another store to buy yarn
LOL it's ok Ginger, HL would never stop selling yarn, they know better than to do that. Half of their customer base would be gone! lol. Some HL's however, are starting to clearance there yarn, but it's very few. I know that my HL usually starts around June.
I’m pretty sure we are starting to feel the shortage now due to China lock down a couple of months back. We’ve been talking about it and preparing for our temperature blankets.
I would have cried if I went into Hobby Lobby and couldn’t find the yarn. I’m so glad that they just moved it. 💜🙏🏻
all of your stories just have WAYYYYYY more yarn than my stores. Lucky girl!
Next time I go to mine I’ll definitely look at the area by the flowers near the front for the yarn & cross stitch supplies. Thank you!
You hobby lobby is setup exactly like ours!!
Yeah, you scared me! Thought it was a yarny horror show at first! 🤣 🤣🤣 Glad to know Hobby Lobby still sells yarn.
So glad the yarn is still at Hobby Lobby. I would panic if I could not find the yarn at hobby lobby
Today my Hobby Lobby had less isles of yarn 🧶 and a long line of shopping carts at the back of store full of yarn. No indication where they’re moving to in the store.

They are just doing a reset and remodel.
I encountered the same fright at the Hobby Lobby near me in Rhode Island! Lol! I’m hoping they’re just trying to make it more appealing and not diminish the amount of yarn offered. 🙂
White tags are lower prices, like old stock with a higher price so they put a white tag over the higher priced ones
They're rearranging a lot of HL stores. I'd probably freak if I walked into my local one and all the yarn was moved! LOL
Yes you startled me young lady!
Your new layout is exactly how my store has been ever since it opened many years ago.
WOW, I've never seen that much yarn in one place,
Kinda strange to divide it up like that. Maybe so you won't notice Lion Brand is missing??
I'm puzzled about why they would split the yarn up this way. As conflicted as I am about Hobby Lobby, I do love their yarn.
Thank you for sharing so I won't have to panic when I go in!
Your welcome….it was so scary!!😭😂😭😭😂
I had noticed in my Hobby Lobby last week that they were moving the yarn aisles. Not sure if I like where they are moving them too, but just very happy they still have all their yarn.

Yay!! You’re so welcome!! 🥰🥰🥰
Same happened to me at my Hobby Lobby! Instant heart drop!
This is just like my Hobby Lobby is Massachusetts!!
Where in Mass Lisa?
@@AffordablyCrafty Orange ~ I’m near the Quabbin
@@lisaaldrich7604 thanks Lisa
For a person like me I love the yarn closer to the front door. I have injured my legs. I wasn’t able to go to Hobby Lobby
I have not stepped inside Hobby Lobby for 2 years now! I am glad you found the yarn! I go to Michaels and Joann or Walmart. I make hats for homeless so Acrylic is pretty easy to find. Even Red Heart has gone way up in price!! Yikes 😬

I try to avoid Hobby Lobby too, but their yarn is nice.
I only buy yarn at Hobby Lobby on sale and when I do, I walk out with huge bargains on quality yarn. And I use it up! I hate Walmart yarn selection. Joanne has gotten too expensive unless you find a sale.
The I Love This Yarn by Hobby Lobby (the softest, best yarn ever) costs the same as crappy red heart super saver on their 30% off weeks, which is every other week!!!
They re arranged the yarn at my local Hobby Lobby...after slight irritation I settled into the new yarn area. Change is inevitable 😊
Yeah, but we can still grumble about it for awhile! 🤣🤣🤣

YES! I was freaked. LOL. I was like you "where is the yarn?"
Thanks for scaring us, Ginger. LOL. Thank you for the heads up.
Our Hobby Lobby has cut way back on the yarn - at least cut by half!!
I went to mine. They are rearranging the store and moved the yarn to where the plants were.
I about had a panic attack! Thanks for finding the yarn, but why did they split it up. I have to go to my Hobby Lobby tomorrow!
My Hobby Lobby had one isle of yarn away from the rest.
I have not been to my Hobby Lobby since December last year. I noticed the good lighting in your store. I always have to take out my phone flashlight to see the yarn colors correctly. Maybe they move the yarn for the better lighting?
wow! I’m going to check out my Hobby Lobby!

Seems alot of big stores are revamping the arrangements in each deoartment.
Oh you scared me 🤣
My hobby lobby is set up like that
My Hobby Lobby still has the yarn in the same place but the selection has decreased DRAMATICALLY! No Lion Brand or the yarns that are in the hanks. So disappointed. I will still buy there but now I tend to stop at Michael’s or Joann’s more.
I only shop Hobby Lobby yarn on the 30% off week. Why pay full price when you can don't have to??
I would pick 2 lavender blue, 1 pistachio, and 2 Robin's egg blue
Did you go back and find out the prices of the Hanks?
Omg!!! I freaked out!!!!!😱
Yes you totally freaked me out
You mean you didn’t fall to the floor kicking and screaming “I want my yarn”, i Would have
Hobby Lobby with no yarn department?? How many yarn crazies are totally freaked out at the mere thought?
Oh grief such a freak out.
This is how Hobby Lobby is set up where I live
Oh my goodness I have been under a rock I guess. Started a project moths ago and need more. But they don't have it 😭😔😭😔😭😭 I'm gonna cry. We're can I find what they used to carry. Because I can't find the packaging so I don't know the name.
Don't do that to me! I'm sitting at the airport and almost passed out!!!!😮
The ones with a tag are marked down 😊
I honestly had a mini panic attack 😅
What do you mean 30% week, yarn at my Hobby lobby is always 30%
Scared the heck out of me 😂
