Do you have a skein of Red Heart "Marine" yarn?

Question

A coworker of mine is having a baby girl. I just found out that she doesn't want the baby to have pink. So the blanket that I have been making her now has to be altered. She is doing the nursery in a beach theme and the walls are blue and green. I need a roll of the "Marine" color yarn! It's been discontinued and I can't find any local store or website that still has it. Do you have one that I can buy off you? Please let me know!! Thanks!

PS I like the "Ocean" one but the shades aren't right and the purple won't go with the blanket.

It has to be red heart classic it's a multi color of blue white and green

Answer 1

You can try a search on ebay using key words like "red heart classic" and then see what pops up. Ebay even has a feature where you can have them notify you when an auction comes up.

New to the scene of yarn offerings is amazon.com. I plugged your "red heart classic" words in and found this auction: http://www.amazon.com/Red-Heart-Classic-Yarn-Blues-Multicolor/dp/B0001DUC9U

I hope this helps with your search,

I hope you get the color you need. If you don't, perhaps you can discuss what to do when you run out of a color. There are probably ways to disguise the problem, such as alternate white stripes, or make squares that have a contrasting color border, similar to quilt blocks.

When I run out of the main color, I add a border around the entire work of a contrasting color.
