Hello & request for yarn

Happy to join the forum, and hope to have time to check in regularly. I've been knitting for about 2 years, as I've worked toward retirement. Now learning some crochet techniques, and liking the variety of stitches.
I have some yarn purchased at my local yarn shop: I bought the last they had of Schaefer Yarn's Laurel cotton yarn. Lovely yarn. But unfortunately, Schaefer has closed up shop. I really would like to have another skein of color: Laura Ingalls Wilder. The skeins are large - 400 yds - and most of the patterns I'd like to make with it require 1000 to 1200 yds. Anyone know where this yarn may still be available? Thanks for being there.

Hello and Welcome. Hang on someone may have some ideas/suggestions for you!

I would check on ebay. Sometimes someone will have something like that to sell.

Hello and welcome!

I did a search for your yarn online and it came up with an ebay listing, but for a different color. So, I would keep my eyes open there. Also, maybe other members will have some options available for you! Glad you are here with us!

Howdie, and welcome; I don't have that yarn but our friends gave you some options, hope it helps...happy crocheting.

Welcome: glad you have joined us. I had the same problem with Red Heart Baby Love yarn: they just flat discontinued it. How about Herrschners?

Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll try eBay next. Herrschners didn't have it. I'm also trying Ravelry, if I can figure out how. Thanks again.
