Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or just getting into a new hobby, JOANN’s Black Friday sale usually a good opportunity to stock up on your crafting supplies for the winter. Here’s a look at what we can expect to see this year.
When the Sale Will Start and End
JOANN is known for kicking off its Black Friday sale a little earlier than most retailers. Based on the past few years, 2025’s sale is expected to start on Thursday, November 21, 2025, both in-stores and at joann.com. That’s exactly one week before Thanksgiving Day. The sale typically runs through the week, likely wrapping up this year on Saturday, November 29, 2025, unless items sell out before then, which may happens with the more popular products.
While you’ll be able to find plenty of deals early in the week, the biggest rush will likely happen on Black Friday, November 28, 2025, when stores open at 6:00AM. JOANN locations will be closed on Thanksgiving Day as usual, so if you plan to shop in person, keep that in mind.
Expected Discounts: What Will Be on Sale
If JOANN follows the same pattern as last year, we can expect discounts across nearly every department. The best deals tend to fall in the fabric, seasonal décor, yarn, and crafting supplies categories. Here’s a breakdown of the expected discount ranges by category based on last year’s ad and general trends:
-
Up to 75% off select items across departments
-
60% off holiday décor and floral items
-
30% to 40% off the entire stock of yarn

Black Friday Doorbusters
JOANN sets aside a few doorbuster deals that are only available on Black Friday itself, which falls on November 28, 2025. These are often some of the best-priced items in the ad but also tend to be in-store only and available in limited quantities.
Doorbusters might include:
-
Deeply discounted cutting tools or scissors
-
Small craft storage bins for under $5
-
Exclusive fabric bundles
-
Special one-day prices on seasonal décor
-
Kids’ craft kits at rock-bottom prices

One-day markdowns on specific yarn types or brands
These types of deals are usually found in the first few pages of the ad and may be gone within the first few hours of the store opening.
