Yarn substitution and supplier
Does anybody have any suggestions for:
- a supplier of Butterfly Super 10 yarn (ordering online for delivery in New York etc.)
- or a good substitute for Butterfly Super 10 yarn
On searching the archive, I see that someone suggested this yarn as a substitute for tahki cotton classic so I'm thinking I might go with that, but the last time I substituted I made such a complete mess of the gauge change (I still can't work out why) that I'd rather stick with the original yarn called for this time round due to the time constraint involved which is going to make false starts highly inconvenient. I want to make Daisy from Knitty for a friend of mine who's baby is due next month.
I did actually order the yarn from jklknitting.com, whom I found by googling, in February, but have not received anything from them despite several requests in the intervening period asking when I might expect to receive my order. I've reached the point now where I just want to get some yarn and get the project started, hence turning to suggestions of alternatives.
Any suggestions, advice or thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks!
