Title: Yarn search
Post by: Crowning_Glory13 on August 09, 2018, 08:38:15 AM

Started a blanket that requires orange yarn. Well I have discovered the orange I started with has been discontinued. I am searching all avenues for any remnants of this yarn.

If you have or know someone who has this yarn, please let me know.

Caron party yarn. Sparkle Orange.

Thanks for your help.

My advice?  Join Ravelry, keep and eye on it: https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/caron-simply-soft-party/stashes?status=&cf=%3F&photoless=0&search=orange because someone, somewhere will be clearing out their stash (and you'll get the same dyelots).

  I'll check our local JoAnn that nobody goes to. I'll be there tomorrow anyway.

I have not seen this yarn in stores, but I live in very small towns, so fingers crossed, thank you so much!!!!

They definitely carry the brand at JoAnn.  Whether or not they have orange is another story.

Had a quick look on the UK sites + yeah, discontinued.

There is an indie wool store near me, when I get a chance I will visit and ask them if they have any lurking on their shelves   :)  how many balls of yarn are you after to finish your blanket?

At this point as many as I can get. If I had to choose a number 3 might finish the project. I loved the color, so I have other projects I would use the yarn with.

What a pity, it's so annoying when products you like/need get discontinued! Good luck with your hunt :)

I found it on a site called YarnIsland (http://yarnisland.com/yarns/caron/simply-soft-party?product_id=554) and appears to be in stock - the price seems to convert to ~$6.50 USD. Not sure what shipping is like.

I tried but it won't give me an option for US shipping. Kiwi. I would pay you by PayPal if you can get it.

Boo, won't ship to Canada either. I guess it must ship only within its own country. :( Sorry, I should've checked that first. I think it only ships to Indonesia (apparently that's the currency).

I was going to suggest ravelry, but you got that tip already :)

Checked 2nd hand sources like eBay, Etsy or depop?

https://www.etsy.com/no-en/market/caron_simply_soft_acrylic_yarn for example, I didn't look through all the pages, but maybe there's some lurking somewhere!
