New for Spring 2024. Minimal quantities have been made to test a new product called Caron Colorama Bamboo Blend yarn. It is currently heading to select Joann Fabric and Craft Store locations.
UPDATE: April 26, 2024. This has gone through testing and is now available through Yarnspirations.com.
It's July 22, 2024, and this yarn is now fully available after you, the consumers, provide positive test results.
I'm filing this under our seasonal yarn section as I don't know if this will ever return due to the testing of it.
It's not uncommon for Yarnspirations to test products to see if there is interest; this is one of them. This is to prevent a massive amount of yarn from being made when there may not be enough interest. Essentially, they are testing the market. If you see and love it, you may want to buy what you need when you see it. It may not return for a second run.
This type of yarn is primarily being made for wearables.
