Your fault Bende! Hubby broke out in a cold sweat when he rounded the corner of the craft dept. at WalMart and saw my shopping cart loaded with yarn and thread and cotton cones. I HAD to do it. Yes, the Bernat (some of it) and all of the Caron SS was on sale and HAD to be purchased...what little was left of anything in yarns and threads. Yes, after talking to the dept head, WalMart is dropping some of the Bernat lines and also all of the Caron SS. Much of the existing RH lines are going but they have brought in some new Redheart stuff. RH Fiesta is one and twice the price of the "regular" or super saver for the same # ounces. It is nice, and soft, so it probably is replacing the Caron SS. Fabric at my store will be GONE in a week to a month. Still no definitive word as to how much,
if any, yarns and threads and coned cotton will remain. Most likely it will all go between winter and Spring. Our store is a MESS and construction for Super Walmart has begun. Get this!
The fishing section of the Sport Dept. has been cut in half to make space for more groceries. Reason: There are NO LAKES in our area!
HUH!? Our Store is a few blocks from Lake Michigan and there are creeks and lakes and rivers (hundreds) that feed into each other and into the Bay of Lake Michigan. Me thinks the people at the top at Wally World need a real shaking up!
Maybe they ran into a brick wall of the Super Center addition and had ALL their sense knocked out of them.
Never made it to JoAnn's in time to try to find more thread and colors (at a much higher price, of course).
p.s. My Walmart has been one of the top selling craft / fabric/ yarn & threads dept's. in the entire country, monthly, for years! The clerks are mystified and mad as to the close-out...except they were told "food sales make more money".
