My local Joann is a mess - who knows what they have - or what box it is still in.

My local yarn stores - the unique stuff sells out almost as fast as it comes in. Basic stock seems to be adequately stocked.

But to be honest I’m not looking very hard. There seems to be a giant stash of yarn lurking in various places in the spare bedroom 😄
