I'm looking for some stores to get a variety of good quality yarns. I have tried Arts and crafts in Sultan mall, they  have a great variety of novelty yarns and baby yarn, but they dont have worsted weight.
I couldn't find the DMC store in Hera'a either.

I went to Art & Crafts at Sultan Mall yday Amazing shop!! they have a very good collection. But they didn't have much worsted weight yarn, they had a lot of novelty yarn and fingering and baby yarns.
I tried looking for the Hera Mall one too but I couldn't find, then today I found that it's called nawarra and is near gate 3, should try there next time.
Still hunting for more stores. :)

There are few places scattered around Jeddah.

The biggest two (and they are big) are Tamer & Tamara in Khalid Bin Al Waleed Street (the first shop to your left entering the one-way street of Khalid Bin Al Waleed coming from Palestine Street).
The second one is Al Essayi in Souq Al Sharq, Al Makarunah Street (if you asked anyone in Souq al Sharq they will know it).

For smaller ones; there is one in Shata’a Souq (main curved iterance to your left) . Another one is in Hamad Al Jaser Street with Al kayyal Street  in Rawdah area.

The one in Hira International is in the Corridor behind the TopMan shop.

Hope this will help you in your hunt.

I do not know where souq al sharq is can you guide me?

ahmadaq

Souq Al Sharq is one of the Abays Souqs of Jeddah. It’s in Makarunah Street with Al Tadamun Al Arabi Street.

If you are driving east in Palestine Street with Marriot Hotel to your right, Makarunah Street is the street starting from the first traffic light after the hotel. Take your left from that traffic light, pass the first traffic light you will face and drive for around 200m and you will find it.
