Red Heart Treasure yarn was originally under Red Heart Boutique when I was with Red Heart in 2013 and 2014. The Red Heart Boutique label was retired, and this was moved to regular branding for Red Heart.
While Bernat Mosaic was just being discontinued, this yarn came to be and offered the same addictive qualities of the colours transitioning.
You may find some of this yarn on trusted websites that are finishing up. Check Michaels online for this yarn. There are still two great choices.

On the upside, it was much softer than Bernat Mosaic and a great fix for stitching. It made really cool hats, scarves and much more.
I made a great wave blanket out of Red Heart Treasure and I was really hooked on how it looked and felt in the end.
A great substitute for this yarn in today's yarn is Bernat Symphony. The positive element to it is that the colours are more modern and the balls are more generous in size.
It was a great product and I was sad to see it go eventually. Like most things in yarn, grab it while you can. If you love it, get it.
