Yarns I used in my patterns being discontinued

[bvoe668]

I recently posed a question on the forum and someone suggested I join this team. My question was if anyone knew of a substitute for Sensations Beautiful yarn and now also Patton's Devine yarn. Nine of my crochet patterns are made from these yarns and now I just found out they have been discontinued. I don't know what to tell my customers. One has just asked me and I wasn't even aware they have been discontinued.

Sensations is a Joann's private brand so you will have to look for other brands. I'd start first though by hitting all of the Joann's shops around (and online) and buying everything they have.

Pattons Devine looks like a mohair blend which you should be able to find in another brand.

Another one of the yarns I used in my latest pattern has been discontinued.  It was Hobby Lobby Yarn Bee Teddy.  Its super chunky and my pattern of a Labradoodle looks so realistic using that yarn.  It is becoming one of my best sellers.  Customers are starting to ask me where to get the yarn.  I looked it up only to find it was discontinued.  Does anyone know of a similar yarn?  I've been searching everywhere to no avail.
