    Hello,

    This is really pretty! Thanks for sharing - hopefully we can find out where you can get this color yarn!

    Foxysadie, Have you tried contacting Red Heart directly? They may know where you can find some! I usually order yarn from Knittingwarehouse.com Have you tried there? I'm sure other people will have ideas too. And hopefully we can find it for you!

    Thanks for your input Maryjane and Barbara. I have tried Red Heart, the 6 I originally ordered are from there, that was all they had, but I thought they would be getting more in, wrong. I have also tried Royal Yarns, did order from Sears (three weeks later when the yarn was due they informed me they were out). I have also tried JoAnn's, Cutrate Crafts, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and even Ebay. It no longer shows up on the Red Heart site either, so I'm guessing it has probably been discontinued. I was hoping, that someone, might have extra on hand at home or knew of someone that still had it in stock.

    I only began crocheting again the first of this year, and forgot a really important lesson. That is to make sure you have enough yarn of the same dye-lot before you start a project. Live and learn....

    Thanks again....

    Hi: I checked Michael's locally and a Craft Warehouse and did not find any Equestrian. Do you have enough yarn to finish off what you have already done? You could use it for someone at the nursing home for a lap robe or shoulder shawl. I have done that and people love them just to cover their legs and feet in a wheelchair. Just an idea.

    What a great idea! It is exactly 1/2 done with 6 skeins and would make a great lap robe, thanks for the idea.

    I just hate being frustrated when I can't finish something. I ended up making a couple doll blankets recently when I could not get another skein of the same yarn. I just knew I had seen it somewhere, but obviously not!!!!!
