craft supplies in Mexico?

[seismeses]

We plan to do some homeschooling of our daughter while in Mexico, and crafts are always a big part of that for us. How easily available are things like wool yarn and knitting supplies, beeswax, watercolor paper, sketch pads, bound blank books, etc.? We have big places like Hobby Lobby and Michaels here, along with little privately owned places, and are able to get everything we need before we go, but would rather not pack so much... We will be in Guanajuato.

Mexico is famous for its arts and crafts; especially those using traditional and natural materials. However, the major cities will have craft shops and many of the larger 'papelerias' carry an amazing variety of supplies related to the needs of school programs and local artists. Of course, there are also artist's supply shops as well.
Perhaps there is a crafter in Guanajuato who can give you some specific guidance.

As everyone said already, tere are plenty of stores that sell the kind of craft supplies you seek.
It should be especially easy to find these things in Guadalajara.
Finding good quality fabric, patterns, thread and buttons is not so easy.
Some US American chain stores are also in the larger cities of Mexico.
