This yarn has been discontinued

Hello! Thank you for letting us know. We have added a substitute option for the Econo yarn. Thanks. -Krista, Editor

There are not two yarns mentioned. One is the type of yarn, and the next is the color.

If I'm reading this correctly, you are indicating two different yarn colors for this project (see below), yet I don't see anywhere in the instructions where you would change colors. If you are suggesting one or the other of the two yarns mentioned, please be more specific in your instructions. RED HEART "Baby Econo" 6oz (170 g), 460 yd (421 m) skeins: 3 skeins 1939 Swim Multi Thank you.

Es una maravilla!! Gracias
