craft stores

Supplies for makers

Craft stores are retail shops selling supplies for hobbyists and do-it-yourself projects—fabric, yarn, paints, beads, scrapbooking materials, and similar goods.

Major chains like Michaels and Joann dominate the American market.

The term typically appears as a compound: I need to make a craft store run for some ribbon.
