Where to get lace-weight cashmere yarn???? I'm having---

I'm having the hardest time finding lace-weight cashmere yarn. Any sources? Anyone know who's selling any? Elann has fingering weight cashmere yarn. Could I substitute it in a lacey scarf pattern? Thanks!

Thanks!

Go to ebay and go to Colormart UK store.

I've bought from them and they are very good - they have laceweight and other weights on cones and skeins.

They have an ebay store - its all in US $ prices so the market they aim at is the US rather than UK (though they do sell to the UK).

The store is at:

and they currently have 134 laceweight cashmere items
