Dpes anyone have a friend in the USA who could do me a huge favour?

OK, long story but I am knitting a striped jumper, and I though I had ordered 3 balls of yarn and I hadn't - and they are now sold out so I searched everywhere as it is discontinued and last night found a shop that had three in stock, so I ordered them only to receive an email this morning that they only have one ball and not the three listed.

I found another place in the USA that has it, but they want $47 to post me 100g of yarn and that is stupid $57 in total £28 in postage costs on £6 wool. ( the postage would almost double the cost of the jumper).

Just in case there is anyone out there who has a friend in the states that might get this for me and post it, I would be very grateful.

Or in case some one fancies a challenge and can find me 2 balls of Rowan cashsoft 4ply in the colour Jewel, it would really make my day and save me unravelling half a sweater.

Thanks  but I trawled through pages and pages last night using just that search, which is why I ended up trying the US seller who wants $47 dollars to post it.

is it definitely 4ply as there's some DK in that make and colour here

Nope that's the place who I ordered from last night and they emailed me to say they only have one ball.

OK sorry, cross posted!

[chips-and-brown-gravy]

Thanks for tying through - much appreciated.

That sounds as if the seller doesn't really want to send it.

Have you tried asking on Ravelry if anyone has any in their stash they'd like to sell?

[aernethril]

There are three on the big river site in the US - they might be cheaper to send?

Local shop to me has it

http://www.mcadirect.com/shop/rowan-cashsoft-dk-p-292.html

They do mail order and they are very good

[brynteg11]

rose that's DK, I think we're looking for 4ply.

[aernethril]

That's DK though, not 4ply which seems to be very elusive.

Found some I think - englishyarns uk.

[1311rose]

Ah right - just looked and they only have a couple of colours in the 4 ply and not the one being looked for

[aernethril]

It's at the bottom

Is there an american knitting/hobbies ebay group you could ask on?? Plenty of people here would help out if an american 'visitor' was asking for help so probably someone there would help.

[aernethril]

My link isn't working but that UK site has some in stock

[brynteg11]

possibly here
