Stitches

Where can I find discontinued knitting yarn to finish an item?

I really need a ball of Sirdar Donegal Tweed in Paprika (shade 0172), or even half a ball, to complete a cardigan. Does anyone know of any websites to find odd amounts, or has anyone out there got any left over?? Would be hugely grateful! Thanks.

1. There's a shop across the road from Tooting Bec Station, and another one at Clapham, near Clapham South Station, that have loads of wool and other things for Arts and crafts.
2. Put a request for what you are looking for on e-bay, it will probably locate it. It is amazing what turns up.
3. You might want to check with this store - http://www.baadeckyarns.com/Pages/SirdarDonegalTweed.htm
4. I found that the best thing to do is contact the manufacturer. I did this last year when I ran out of some yarn and they were most helpful and put me in contact with somebody that could help me.
5. try ebay or Craigs list
6. Try calling Sirdar. They may have odd balls off disused dye lots. The number is 01924 371501 or e mail enquiries@sirdaruk
