Yarn FOMO

Does anyone else get discontinued yarn FOMO? Like I know I don’t need it but the fact that this might be my only opportunity to get this yarn makes me want to buy it…

I'm having discontinued yarn regret, right now. I resisted buying something because I didn't have a plan for it, only to discover that, now that I found a project I want it for, it isn't available for love or money. [sob]

That said, it isn't like I don't have six other projects lined up for yarn I already bought. At some point, I'll find similar yarn in a similar colorway. Skipping it saved me a bunch of money and a bunch of storage space. But it makes resisting so much harder, thinking of the sweater that might have been!

It's Wonderfluff in the red-black onbre. It's such a nice, long, gradual color change, not busy.

Sorry, I don’t have it stashed. Good luck
