Hancock Fabricks

Hi all,
I know that some people here sew as well as knit, so I thought I'd post this. Quite a few of the Hancock Fabric stores are going out of business. The company had to file Chapter 11, so fabric is on big sale.

Also, the one here where I live has yarn. I spent $112 but got a ton of yarn!!! I'll have to get a pic. But I got 10 skeins of Lion Brand casmere, about 5 skeins of Cotton, and some sock yarn, oh, and some fabric.

Mine isn't closing - they've got a Help Wanted sign in the window (so do almost all the businesses in town!). I went ahead and got some WoolEase for a sweater just because. Well, because it was 25% off this weekend!

Ours is closing and I got Knitting Over the Edge and Vogue Knitting for 30% off. There was a whole stack of books I wanted to get, so I'm checking back later to see if the discount increases.

oooh, I'm going to have to go check this out and see if mine is closing. I could pick up supplies for more quilted kitties. :thinking:

my Mom said the good stuff at the Hancock near her is going fast. Word travels quickly and lots of people are coming in to clean out the good stuff on sale.... (the one near me closed years ago.)

Oooohhh...theres one here in Waco.

yeah if you have a store that is closing i wouldn't wait around for prices to go toooo low... they will generally not go bottom dollar if other stores are staying open since they can just move stock.

Well, I just googled Hancock Fabrics to see if I could get in on some clearance yarn.

I live right outside of NYC.

My results:

Bethlehem, PA 77 miles.
Dickson City, PA 94 miles.
Springfield, MA 106 miles.
Wilmington, DE 125 miles.
Lancaster, PA 142 miles.

I guess I won't be getting anything on clearance.
