The technical foundation behind every Joanns product
We publish real specifications — fiber content, GSM weights, blade sizes, needle gauges and machine compatibility — so you can plan projects with confidence instead of guessing.
Calibrated fabric weights and widths
Every bolt of Joanns cotton, fleece, flannel, minky, linen, faux leather and blackout fabric ships with declared width (44″ or 58/60″), GSM weight and fiber content. Yardage is precision-cut to the eighth of a yard so quilt blocks and garment panels match your pattern exactly.
Standardized weight-system labeling
All Joanns yarn — Bernat Blanket, Red Heart Super Saver, Lion Brand and our cotton and chunky lines — is tagged with the Craft Yarn Council weight number (1 through 7), recommended needle range and gauge. Match yarn to hook or needle without cross-referencing a chart.
Sewing and cutting machine ready
Simplicity patterns, rotary cutters, batting, dress forms and sewing tables are engineered around standard Singer, Brother and Cricut interfaces. Universal presser feet, ANSI blade sizes and Cricut mat-compatible cut widths mean your existing kit works out of the box.
From project idea to finished piece — in four steps
Whether you’re stitching a quilt, knitting a blanket or building a Cricut sign, the workflow is the same simple loop: plan, source, make, share.

What quilters, knitters and crafters say about Joanns
Real feedback from customers building quilts, blankets, decor and gifts with Joanns fabric, yarn and craft supplies.
“The Bernat blanket yarn from Joanns was exactly the weight I needed for a chunky throw. Skein colors matched the swatch perfectly across two dye lots.”
“Bought cotton quilting fabric and a 45mm rotary cutter together. The blade was sharp out of the box and the fabric edges cut cleanly with zero fraying.”
“Simplicity dress patterns from Joanns are my go-to. Sizing chart is accurate and tissue paper holds up to repeated pinning. Only wish more sizes came in one envelope.”
“The Cricut Maker paired with Joanns iron-on letters made my daughter’s sports banner look pro. Vinyl adhered on the first press and washed without peeling.”
Detailed answers about Joanns products and orders
The specs, compatibility notes and policy details makers ask us about most.
Joanns fabrics ship in two industry-standard widths: 44/45″ for most quilting cottons, flannel, minky and specialty prints, and 58/60″ for apparel fabric, fleece, faux leather, upholstery fabric and blackout lining. Weight varies by category — quilting cotton averages 130–150 GSM, anti-pill fleece is around 200 GSM, upholstery weights range from 8 oz to 24 oz per linear yard, and blackout fabric is a heavy 380–420 GSM triple-weave. Every product page lists the specific weight, content and care instructions.
Joanns yarn spans the full Craft Yarn Council weight system, from lace (1) through jumbo (7). Bernat Blanket is a super bulky 6, Red Heart Super Saver is a worsted 4, Lion Brand Wool-Ease is worsted 4, and our chunky and cotton lines cover 3, 4 and 5 weights. Each label lists the recommended hook (from 3.5 mm up through 25 mm) and knitting needle size (US 3 through US 50). Gauge swatch information is printed on every ball band so projects come out on-size.
Yes — Joanns Simplicity, McCall’s and Butterick patterns are drafted to industry-standard seam allowances (5/8″ for apparel, 1/4″ for quilting) and work on every domestic sewing machine, including all Singer, Brother, Janome, Bernina and Juki models. Presser feet are universal low-shank, needles are 130/705H flat-shank system, and bobbin sizes are the standard Class 15 or L-style. Pattern envelopes list fabric requirements in both 45″ and 60″ widths.
The Cricut Maker delivers 10× the cutting force of the Cricut Explore Air 2, cuts 300+ materials (versus about 100 on the Explore line), and is the only home Cricut compatible with the full 13-blade adaptive tool system — including the rotary blade for fabric, the knife blade for balsa wood, and the debossing and engraving tips. Cut width is 11.5″ across all mat-compatible Cricut models, so 12″ mats and vinyl sheets you already own will continue to work.
Joanns coupon codes and printable coupons apply to most regular-priced items, including fabric by the yard, patterns, notions, ribbon, buttons and craft supplies. Exclusions typically apply to Cricut machines, sewing machines, gift cards, doorbuster items and clearance already marked more than 50% off. Our “20% off entire purchase” coupons stack on already-reduced fabric, so quilters often combine sales and coupons for the best per-yard price. Check each coupon’s fine print for the exact exclusion list.
All three are cozy but engineered differently. Fleece is a knit polyester with a brushed pile — light, warm, anti-pill treated, and does not fray, so edges can be left raw. Minky is a plush knit polyester with a longer pile (typically 3–5 mm) and a silky face; it’s stretchier and requires walking-foot sewing to prevent shifting. Flannel is a plain-weave 100% cotton, brushed on one or both sides, that shrinks 5–8% on first wash and frays like standard cotton. Choose fleece for no-sew blankets, minky for baby items with a soft face, and flannel for pajamas, shirts and rustic quilts.
Yes. Fabric is sold in 1/2-yard minimum increments and cut in 1/4-yard steps (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, and up). Cuts are continuous — a 3-yard order arrives as a single 108″ length, not three separate pieces. Cutting is done with calibrated rotary blades along the grain, and cut length is verified to within ±1/2″ of the ordered amount. Bolts are refreshed regularly and dye-lot information is tracked so multiple yards on one order come from the same lot when possible.
