Has anyone come across this (http://www.patonsyarns.com/product.php?LGC=sws) yarn? I think it's available in America, but not over here. If anyone knows of a supply, give me a shout, because it looks wonderful.

I was browsing the blogs and came across this (http://ma2ut.blogspot.com/) post. The felted bag is in SWS and is absolutely beautiful.

OOh I love that yarn!
I have a dilemma myself with patons yarn.
I found a stocking which I wanted to make a couple of, which was inlast christmasses Sk mag.
ONly trouble is the yarn is now doscontinued so I will be off on a yarn hunt on Friday.

OOh, have you tried American ebay? they might be able to help, if you can find a supplier who is willing to post abroad.

I have seen it on American Ebay, but the postage was a bit expensive. I haven't done an extensive search though, so there might be a seller who does cheaper postage.

The American shop I usually buy from, (The Knitting Zone, who are great for postage and very speedy), don't stock it :( .

The colours are gorgeous, though I've read that it does have a tendency to pill rather quickly if the item isn't felted.
