Breaking News: YLI Shimmer Floss Discontinued

Stitchin Time in Louisville, Kentucky says YLI is being sold and the new owner is going to discontinue Shimmer ribbon floss.  I can't find any confirmation of this online except some shops are showing various Shimmer colors as "Discontinued."

Ribbon floss currently is available in plain rayon, metallic and Shimmer which is the plain rayon with a bit of metallic woven in.  It's a favorite of mine so luckily I have a nice little stash of my favorite colors.
