I know that Showers of Flowers Yarn shop in Lakewood, CO has Butterfly 10 yarn. You can order it online here:

This site also has it for a little bit cheaper, but I didn't compare shipping:

Anyways, if you google for butterfly Super 10 yarn a lot of hits pop up.

Thanks, I'll give that top link a go. Having been stung on my last order I'm having an irrational "I don't want to trust an unknown website" wibble. Whilst I realise it's irrational, I'm still having it :)

Thanks for your help.

If you have an AC Moore near you, you can get King Tut mercerized cotton, and you should be able to get gauge with it. It's also available on eBay and online.

I do have a local AC Moore, but they didn't seem to have any in stock (unless I was having a total failure to see it!) I'll keep my eyes open though. Thanks for the suggestion :)

Of course, I am actually an idiot, and they actually do have it - I had another look last night. I feel foolish...
