BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Crochet Mainstay Yarn

I just read over at another forum that Walmart is discontinuing the Mainstay Yarn....has anybody else heard this??? I use that stuff alot. Is this true does anybody know?

Sorry to say but it is true. I was at our Wal-Mart on Sunday and there is sign over that section of yarn stating they will not be selling it anymore. As a matter of fact, I think there were only about 4 skeins of black left. I too am disappointed. I like using their yarns also.

Hadn't heard that, and haven't been far enough into Wal-Mart to get to the yarn section to notice how much is left here in Clarksburg. I am sorry to hear it as I also enjoyed using the Mainstay Yarn. Are they replacing it with something else?

ok I went last night after work. Ya'll, I scored the last three skeins of the blue ridge varigated that I like so much, and I also got the last three skeins of another tan/maroon varigated too. The only other colors they had left were black and navy. may go back and pick up a couple in the black before they're gone. other than that, the stock was totally depleted. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

It is totally gone at my Walmart, never even saw it go on sale DARN but do you think that they are just going to bring in their own line of yarns ? I see they now have the NOBO brand yarns ?

I checked at my Wal-Mart last night and they had just a few skeins of Mainstay yarn left - and they were the same price they always have been...at my store the Mainstay has been replaced by some Caron yarn.

Thanks for the information about Mainstay yarn. In the morning I will make a trip to get more. It is my favvorite yarn to make blankets for Project Linus. It is so soft.

Yes, it's true...Mainstay is gone! It was never on sale in my area (PA). However, Walmart has some new NoBo yarns in pretty spring colors...sport weight. I'm also sorry to see the Mainstay go...liked it better than Red Heart, though the colors were limited. Hope they replace it with something similar/equal.charkitty

It never went on sale here either. I sent an email to walmart, expressing my displeasure over the decision to remove the yarn, and told them it was kinda [censored] that they didn't even put it on sale or nothing. ehh...you know how that goes.

I am really upset with Walmart. They should give some warning. I am in dire need of at least a partial skein of No. 1430 Soft Burgundy to finish an afghan I planned to give as a wedding gift. Can anyone help me out? Will pay reasonable price and postage.
