It's getting hot in here, so buy all cotton yarn! (Anyone else sing along? No, just me?) Annnnyway. It's time again to roundup all the weekly deals and coupons at the craft stores to save money and time on yarn - cotton or any other fiber!
Many of these sales only last through the weekend, so be sure to click on the name of the store for current prices if you’re shopping next week! Make sure too that you know your craft store policies – many take competitor’s coupons, and this can really pay off! Please note that the JoAnn and Craftsy links in this article are affiliate links - but that doesn't change your prices at all!
Save money on yarn this week at…
Michaels
On the site, enter your zip code to get the coupons for the store closest to you. This week I got a coupon for 50% off any one regularly priced item! Be sure to check your receipts – there are usually coupons printed at the bottom. Michaels has a mobile app with available coupons as well, so be sure to download that if you can. Sign up for the email newsletter, and Like Michaels on Facebook for more coupon opportunities.
According to the website the new yarns are in! Be sure to take a look around and report back if you spot something new and exciting! This week Loops & Threads Charisma, Impeccable, Country Loom, Vanna's Choice, and Simply Soft are all on sale for $2.79. They've also got Lion Brand Homespun and Patons Classic Wool for $4.49 and Lily Sugar'n Cream 4 for $5 - great stock up price!
The current flyer has a coupon for 40% off good through the 22nd on the back, and another two Firefly Frenzy coupons for 50% off good June 9 through 13 on the inside. There are also usually flyers inside the front door of the store, so always check the basket on your way in.
To get another Jo-Ann coupon, click the logo above, and at the bottom of the page under Shop, click on Store locator. Enter your zip code (if it doesn’t already show your nearest store). When you get the results, click on “More Store Information” and a link to a coupon will pop up. On the website there are more coupons, but they change quickly so check there before you shop. Be sure to sign up for the emails, their mailing list, text alerts, get the app, and Like Jo-Ann Fabrics on Facebook for even more deals.

Hobby Lobby
Hobby Lobby has the usual printable coupon for 40% off any regularly priced item.

You can now get the same savings on your non-Apple/Android smart phones by visiting m.hobbylobby.com and showing the cashier the coupon on your phone.

I've also heard lots of good buzz lately about Deramores, and they have both US and UK sites, with great shipping rates! You can also get the infamous Lucy Pack there - gorgeous! Additionally, many manufacturers, such as Lion Brand, take orders directly. And they often run sales - sign up for their emails to keep up. And if you get the chance, don't forget to shop at your local yarn stores - small businesses need our support too!
