I've become bored with reading all the mails about Michaels closing and also about Mainstays being discontinued and about the 8oz skeins now becoming 7 oz skeins.
We don't get any of those here, so it's all academic anyway. And it increases the feeling of Alice Through the Looking Glass that I get most of the time from reading about all those brands and shops.
Oh well, now I've become one of those irritable slapper-downers. Sigh.

Interesting… I live in the US right now, and hadn’t heard any of this. Of course, I haven’t been hanging out in Crochetville much lately.

I can tell you that you aren’t missing much! People are making a big deal out of it because I assume that’s all that they know or have. Yeah, I shop at Michael’s when I have to. As for Mainstays yarn, if you like working with the cheapest of the cheap yarn you’ll be sad to see it go.
