I'll try to find a url for you, but if I can't you might try this. Google the yarn and hopefully you will find what I did when I searched for a different Sayelle rcently just out of curiosity. I landed on a site that carried discontinued yarn including Sayelle. Good luck!

I have been searching and coming up empty handed. I would keep an eye on eBay and search occasionally their yarn listings. Maybe, you will be able to find some soon.

Thanks. BUT I've already been to dozens of disconitnued yarn sites to no avail. I've watched eBay, but so far, nothing.

Do you have the actual Yarn name, colour and manufacturer? I may be able to find it for you.

I've checked with all of my sources (including may vintage dealers) and none have any of this in stock.
However, they will let me know if they come across any.
About the only way I think you'll find it is if someone sees your post and happens to have it in their personal stash.Crochetgal on Etsy - Beautiful yarns, affordable prices

I agree. thanks for trying to help!
It may be in someone's stash and they're willing to sell it. I've just about decided to get some Bright Red to do the joining sections and put the marled yarn to another use.
I hate to abandon hope because I think it would be such a cheery blankie with the marled yarn.
Sniff! Sniff! Sniff!
