The listing, Yarn Lot NIP Red Heart Boutique Sashay 1934 Rumba - 5 Skeins has ended.

You're bidding on a lot of five skeins of Red Heart brand yarn, all new in original wrappers, stored in a plastic bin in my smoke free home since I purchased them about a year ago.

Brand: Red Heart
Style: Sashay
Weight: super bulky (6)
Color name: Rumba
Art: 1959
Dye lot: 168 (all are same lot #)
97% acrylic 3% metallic
Each ball wt: 100 g (30 yards)

5x = total of 500 g (150 yds) in this lot.

***NOTE: Sashay yarn is a net-like mesh of holes (see picture) of which you only work the top edge. The bottom edge (metallic) hangs loose to create a ruffle effect.

I will be listing a lot of yarn in the coming weeks so please fan me and stop back often! Thanks!

:) Fanned you in return (and am watching your boucle yarn -- I'm new to Listia, but my addy is verified.). :) Good luck!

That's not rumba (despite what pkg says) it's jive. Lol. It's one of my faves.

According to the Red Heart site (the manufacturer of the yarn) Jive is made up of all shades of blue (only) and is color #1940 (this has shades of lime green mixed in with light and dark blues, and is color 1934). Here's the picture from the Red Heart (link provided only for clarification): http://www.redheart.com/yarn/boutique-sashay/jive

I bought this new at a craft supply store, and have stored it untouched since (in its original labels). I can only go by what I see on the label trusting that Red Heart labeled them correctly. I appreciate your input, and thank you for your diligence, but I am in no way attempting to mislead anyone.

As I'm looking around their website, Red Heart (as a brand -- a brand I normally don't use much, btw, but loved these colors so much I purchased them), isn't clear about their colors or styles (in trying to verify your input, I saw four different color mixtures represented as 1934 Rumba, none of them Jive, btw.). So guess I don't really know what's technically correct here.

Whatever the case regarding Red Heart's color naming/labels, in my auctions, what the bidder sees in the photo is the exact thing they're bidding on. This yarn is new in its original packaging, is very definitely Red Heart Sasha (confirmed at the Red Heart site), and made up of several shades of blue and lime green. That's all I know for sure.

Thanks again. I'm sorry for any confusion, but I assure you, these are as they were when I purchased them from the store. And all of the skeins of this color were labeled the same way - 1934 Rumba (I searched through the bin to match dye lot numbers).

That's the best I can do in reply. Good luck, if you still decide to bid. And again, I'm only going by what the packaging says. Thanks!

Whoops. Sorry. Meant twist (have one right in front of me) & yeah, RH site is a bit wonky. Lol

OMG, you are so right (went to another place on the redheart website and looked through color swatches. It *is* twist. How bizarre is that. Ai yi yi. Egads. I'll put a note in the listing (I think I can still edit it... I'm still new ... yikes!). Thanks for figuring that out. Man, they're *all* mislabeled!
