Default Alternative to Kona Snow?

I need 10 yds of Kona Snow....I went to JoAnns with my 60% off coupon, only to find zero in stock. I asked a sales assoc, and she looked it up-said they can't order as there is none in stock at their warehouse, and they must be discontinuing this product. Not sure if she meant JoAnns is not going to carry it, or Kaufman is not going to produce it.
So. If I can't find a reasonable price online, is there another solid cotton that is close to Snow in color and quality?
Thanks!

Check fabric.com. Some people like the Bella solids too. Or you can visit the Kona website & look up stores that carry their fabrics. Many quilt shops carry Kona solids

The best price on Kona Snow I found was this one on eBay, which is about $6 a yard and would ship free if you purchased 10 yards:

I pulled out my Kaufman and Moda color cards. As best I can tell in natural light, Moda's Off White is just a slight tad lighter than Snow, and Moda's Porcelain is just a tad darker than snow. I think either of those could substitute well for Snow. Of the two, I think Porcelain is closer to Snow.

Edit: Oops. I see the eBay listing has only 9 yards of Snow available. Might be some other eBay listings for it, though. I didn't check them all.

Fabric.com has Snow for $7.19/yard for 10 yards with free shipping:

I've gotten Kona Snow at Hobby Lobby. Very reasonable prices and a good selection of Kona solids. Don't know if you have HL in your area or not.

Thanks everyone! Fabric Shack has a great price and their shipping is so reasonable! However, I am going to contact Kaufman to inquire about the future availability of this color. I ran across a few other shops that Rd no longer carrying "snow"....
