Dawn,
Joann's and Hancock are not exactly known for quality merchandise, and
I have no idea about Hobby Lobby. Its name suggests not much.
I'd go online to look. The last cotton velvet I found was (improbably)
at Wal-Mart in the 1990s. I bought all I could in 3 colors. it's still
ripening for a project ;)

I had a most disappointing shopping trip today. I was searching for
a nice blue-green cotton velvet and was surprised at the lack of
options. I went to Hancock's first, they had NO fashion velvet of
any kind. They had 3 rolls of upholstery velvet, nice stuff, in
black, brown and red.
Hobby Lobby had no upholstery velvet, and cheap acrylic fashion
velvet in black, navy and red. I found some medium turquoise on the
clearance rack and bought that. It might work, and it was cheap
enough.
Joann's had the requisite cheap acrylic velvet in red and black, and
no upholstery velvet. Lots of chenille, no velvet.
So what is it with velvet these days? The acrylic stuff just gets
crappier and crappier and I can't find simple cotton anywhere.
