Very different.


Haberdashery'; is some times called 'notions'., buttons, zippers, buckles..

yarn: Knitting is making clothing/bedding from yarn.. so along with yarn 
you get knitting needles, knitting machines..

sewing; needles, thread, sewing machines ...

fabric: cloth used to make clothing, curtains, cover furniture ..


I regard these as different products... some stores do stock more than 
one of the above, some only have one and others do mostly one but have a 
little of another.


The problem of tagging the shop that sells more than one category has to 
be dealt with. A baker that also sells fruit and vegetables for instance?
