I too am curious why the natruallycaron.com line has been discontinued. These were such lovely yarns. Does Caron have and replacement yarns in the works that are blended with natural fibers?

I just found out Spa is being discontinued — I’m really bummed as it’s one of my favorite yarns! Why is it being discontinued?

I am EXTREMELY disappointed that the Caron country and spa collections are being discontinued. In the past, I have purchased these yarns (at HobbyLobby, Michaels, Joanns and AC Moore) to use for a scarf pattern that I frequently knit to give as gifts – or to keep for myself. The softness and sheen of these yarns makes it great for scarves. I can’t seem to find any other yarn that works as well for this pattern – even among more expensive “designer” yarns. Very disappointed in Caron.

I can’t find country anywhere! Its on clearance and limited colors on some websites. You say its not discontinued but the rarity of it tells a different story. It is elusive. Is there a problem with production? Officially discontinued or not I’m really frustrated that its so hard to find.

I wish caron would add red to the color palettes of Spa and/or Joy!, even it it’s a limited edition tie-in for National Heart Month. I’ve been doing the Debbie Macomber MRS MIRACLE scarf with Spa, and it’s turned out wonderfully. The Spa colors Rose Bisque and Rosalinda are perfect for Breast Cancer Month knitting, but the group I belong to is doing a charity knitting basket for a Heart Month fundraiser in May, and I’d love to do a MIRACLE scarf for it in red. Will you at least consider it, even if it’s limited-edition?

Hi Kelsey,
It is hard to estimate, but if you’re only modifying one row in the motif, the extra yarn needed is marginal. I’d allow for some extra, but you shouldn’t need multiple balls extra of each color. Good luck!

Hi Jona – It’s not discontinued at this time. I’m looking into getting it back on the shop.

I am not seeing caron country available online. Has it been discontinued.

Hi! I was walking around in Hobby Lobby one day (about 4 years ago now) when I stumbled upon a print of the Sunscape Throw and I fell in love! It inspired me to learn how to crochet and from there I decided to teach myself. I’ve made a couple of baby blankets, scarves and even a Kindle cover but i’ve finally decided to take on the project that started it all! I ordered how many skeins in spa the pattern said would be necessary last summer right before I left for a big trip (I went to Ireland for a few months) and unfortunately the yarn wouldn’t fit in my bag. However, I picked it up again the other day (I’d completed one square already but I decided it was time to really hunker down and get to work.) In my tiredness, I was working on a square and I got to the last round (7) and went at it. That’s when I set it down next to my first completed square and realized that somehow in my tiredness, I had crocheted all the way around using treble crochet instead of half double crochet. I have no idea how I even did that, however, I really like the look of it. My question is: How much more yarn should I buy in each color so I can complete the project using treble crochets in round 7 versus the half double crochet? I know there’s no way to get the same dye lots but I don’t think that will be too big of a deal with this particular design. Thank you so much for any input you can offer!
