Hello again everyone:

I am shopping for Christmas and my wife recently mentioned something about yarns made from pearls. I would like to purchase some pearl yarn and some qiviut this year for her. If anyone would be kind enough to tell me where I might find the pearl yarn, I (and dhe) would be grateful for your assistance, once again.
Thank you for your time
James

According to the fall 2012 issue of Vogue Kintting, Zealana manufactures a pearl yarn. A company called Yarn Sisters is the exclusive distributor. A web address was not provided in the article.

This was a 30th Anniversary yarn for Vogue Knitting. Only 500 skeins were made, they sold for 40.00 plus shipping. Zealana is developing another pearl yarn will have more details in the Fall. zealana.co.nz
