Default Looking for alpaca yarn

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....

Joan I bought some alpaca grande paint (called sandstone grn, grey,
yellow)from

http://www.discontinuedbrandnameyarn.com/shop/

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
