Joann coming back? IP owner Michaels is resurrecting the fabrics brand-here's how, where, and when

The 'Knit & Sew Shop' is now available in all Michaels stores across the U.S. and Canada, featuring the Joann name and logo as a dual-branded shop, with a curated assortment of threads, sewing notions, and yarn-with fabric also available in most stores. The selection will also include the Big Twist yarn collection-hitting shelves at the end of October-which was a favorite among Joann's loyal customers, and was part of Michaels' purchase of Joann's intellectual property (IP).
