Looking for Aunt Lydia

I've been hunting around to find some Aunt Lydia's yarn so I could tie some crab flies but can't find it. Heard it was at Wal Mart but have been to three different stores around Bradenton/Palmetto with no luck. They have the crochet thread but not the yarn. Haven't had a chance to look in the sewing stores yet. Any ideas?

I think the last time I bought some it was at Jo-ann's fabrics. Craft/sewing stores will likely be a decent bet.

I order mine from www.hookhack.com it is $.70 to $1.65 per 7 yard card. They have a good assortment. One card lasts me for a few years.

I got a big box of it on ebay. I would consider splitting some off.

It was mostly Caron brand tho...

Here is a side by side comparison of both:

Also Michaels might carry it.

Try searching for latch hook rug yarn...They come in small pre cut bundles and packages of about 2- 2 1/2" like this:
