Which code does this activity belong in?
Sewing, needlework, and piece goods stores primarily retail fabrics, sewing supplies, patterns, yarns, and needlework accessories, often alongside new sewing machines. This code does not cover hobby and craft retailers selling items like yarn or embroidery supplies as secondary merchandise; those establishments belong in Hobby, Toy, and Game Stores when hobby or game products are their primary focus. The distinction rests on whether the establishment's main business is dedicated sewing and fabric retail or a broader hobby retail operation.
