I’ve been prowling the web in search of the world famous self-striping rainbow Regia sock yarn, and I finally found it last week at an online shop, which shall remain nameless because even though I’m fucking livid, I’m still a decent person.
I placed my order, grabbing the last two in stock, only to receive an email from them (almost a full week later, might I add) saying their stock count online was incorrect and that they could not fill my order as they have sold out.
Then they said the worst thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life, ever: THE YARN HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
Why does nobody else make a self-striping bright rainbow sock yarn? It’s pretty ridiculous.

Apparently Blue Moon has got a new color out called Pride in honor of, well, Pride. It’s very rainbow, and if you ask Tina nicely she might be willing to talk to you about its self-striping potential. From the pictures, it looks like it might.
