So my roommate gave me two skeins of homespun in Modern, a discontinued color thats this gorgeous mix of teal blue black and purple. I paired it with some teal chenille for this purse:

So my point is, why do companies always discontinue the prettiest colors? gonk Any one else have colors they love disappear?

That's a pretty bag!

I think they discontinue the pretty colors because they know it gets on our nerves. No other reason.

I'm in the process of making a granny square afghan out of the modern color! I'm not even sure if I have enough of that color to finish it. sad

Lionbrand discontinued my favorite color of Homespun a few years ago and I'm still upset about it. It was a beautiful dark green called Country. I see on the website that they're getting rid of all of the dark green colors of Homespun and a lot of the really beautiful "tweed" and "painterly" colors.

don't i know it....

Half-way through making a teddy bear with leftover homespun, i ran out, so we went to get more. They didn't have any, and i asked if they knew when they'd be getting that color. They said it was discontinued.

I bought a couple skiens of ebay, it was the only way to get it. sweatdrop

They do it because they're sadistic assholes who like kicking puppies and breaking girls' hearts.



Cute bag, though. whee

I found some Lionbrand Boucle at a Dollar Tree 25 miles from me and it's still being sold at my Walmart for full price. I haven't found any Homespun there yet though.
