Looking for Mainstays yarn #1420 Pale Pink

I saw on the internet that someone was looking for the Mainstays yarn #1420 Pale Pink. I'm also looking for one skein of it. Any suggestions? Apparently Mainstays doesn't make the yarn any more.

How long ago was this discontinued? If recently, there may be some lingering in stores.

Suggestions:

  • If you bought it at a particular store (e.g., Walmart), ask if they can check with their other stores for any remaining stock.
  • Do a web search for "mainstays yarn" to find out who sells or distributes it, then contact those vendors to ask if they have any remaining stock.
  • Post your request on several knitting/crochet sites, where you are more likely to get a response.
  • Check swap or auction sites.

If you still can't find any, is there another yarn similar in fiber, weight and color that you could substitute?
