Lori, I have searched high and low online for that yarn and I can't find it. It's possible that the periwinkle color has been discontinued. Do you have a Michaels or WalMart where you live? Sorry I couldn't find it for you but, hopefully, one of the smarter cookies here can find it for you.

Sorry, but this is a discontinued yarn. EEEK... HOPEFULLY, however, someone will have a little in their stash that they will be willing to send/sell to you. Best of luck in your endeavors in finding this yarn. That has got to be so frustrating.

I checked on Ravelry for you but no one has that color stashed. I also checked discontinuedbrandnameyarn.com and no luck there either. Sorry! Good luck finding it.

I'm so sorry yuo're having trouble finding the yarn to match!

I was thinking, have you tried to maybe find a coordinating yarn to finish it instead? Just in case you can't find the original, that is.

I hope you get it worked out!

not sure if this will help and I haven't checked myself for the color you are looking for but ebay does have yarn, lots of yarn and you decide what you are willing to pay. I have been watching for some cheap mohair myself. Good Luck in your search, hope you find what you are looking for.
