Sandnes Alpakka Ull supply issues

I'm so sorry about this, but there are currently supply issues with getting hold of any more Sandnes Alpakka Ull. The earliest I will be able to get any more in stock is towards the end of December (and that isn't 100% certain).  This is one of my bestselling yarns, so this is fairly terrible for me as a small business at what should be the busiest time of year. This will be the same for the rest of the UK retailers too as the wholesaler cannot get any more stock.

Alternatives that are in stock

These yarns have all been used in Sophie Hood and Sophie Shawl projects on Ravelry - please have a look at completed projects to see the finished look of the garments with the various yarns and let me know if you need any advice on how the yarns behave or help calculating yarn requirements.
