So, I'm working on a kit from Candamar designs and I'm running out of
yarn (again)! Anyone know what kind of yarn these manufacturers use in
their kits? The numbers listed do not match paternayan numbers, and the
yarn is thicker than Appleton. I am hoping to find a place to buy the
colors I need, instead of waiting for the company to send me more.
TIA!

Contact Candamar and demand that they send you any extra supplies you
need. There should be no excuse for places like Candamar to sell kits
with too little in the way of supplies, or if they do, then they should
take the responsibility to see that the shortfall is made up. HTH.

I don't remember who the manufacturer was but my mother once had good
luck contacting one for some extra yarn. She said she expected a lot of
hassle and run around but they understood right away and sent her plenty.

Thicker than Appleton and not matching paternayan speaks to me of Elsa
Williams.

I emailed the company today and got a very prompt response! The yarn is
no longer manufactured, but they are going to check their stock for me,
and sent me a DMC conversion chart just in case they don't have any
more. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, since I'm 1/2 done with the
project. In the future I'm going to go out and buy my own yarns, since
I *always* run out!
