I am reaching out for help finding yarn on the east coast.
My supplier has stopped making 2/24 turbo acrylic yarn on cones!
I have searched on the web and come up with nothing.
Can any one help me, please?

I have no idea what the stuff is, but is this it? ;-)

Is the turbo part important? (You can tell I have no clue! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: )


Some current listings on ebay:

This is a machine knitting yarn, 2 ply with a gauge of about 7 stitches to the inch (fingering weight I guess) so you could substitute with a similar yarn that is sold on cones. You could probably go to one of your local yarn shops and ask if they can get it for you, or even give you a source if they won't order it.
As a funny... when I googled that type of yarn, a result for alibaba came up, and if you want to order it (from China) you could, the minimum order was 10 metric tons! one heck of alot of sweaters! even I don't have that much yarn in my stash. and I am a big hand knitter/spinner- I may not have a respectable quilting stash, but my fiber and yarn stash is several multiples of S.A.B.L.E. :-)
but I would never say that where my DH could hear it.
