Looking for alpaca yarn Featured

Apr 11, 2014 12 Replies

Hi all,



I know several of you are knitters/crocheters, so thought I'd try here.



Several years ago I purchased some yarn. I finally found a pattern to use with it and have found I need more than what I got. I contacted the company and they replied they discontinued this line of yarn several years ago. They sent me a list of stores who had purchased it and I'm checking with those. So, I realize I'm on a wild goose chase but I'm hoping maybe someone here might be able to help.



What I'm looking for is Baby Alpaca Grande Paint, color 8819, lot 57575.



BTW, I had a friend check Ravelry and was successful in finding 1 skein there! :) I figure I'll need about 3 more. I've also posted on rctm and rcty.



Keeping my fingers crossed....


You might try eBay and Etsy.

They are in Vermont and buy out shops that are closing their doors. The also buy out estates yarn stashes. It would be worth contacting them hth Bobbie V.

Most online suppliers seem show this item as either discontinued or out of stock - but here's one who might have some....well, they don't show it as not available!

hmmmm... not so sure now about that webpage!

Using the website search mechanism doesn't produce any hits for this yarn, but that webpage is still viable. Perhaps a website management issue.

I've tried eBay, but hadn't thought about Etsy. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

HI Joan, Here's a store that says they have 2 in stock.
