Are you in the UK? if so, what about HERE I googled and lots popped up.

Thanks I am in the Uk, but been there, the Patons site is American but you don't find out until about to put in the basket, then see its in dollars not pounds!

Ah yes, just been to contact details and it's Canadian :( bummer!

Why don't you buy another chunky yarn instead? Shetland chunky is 25% wool, the rest iirc is acrylic and nylon (used to be in the trade). I don't know id Sirdar still make Country Style chunky, but that was always quite a favourable alternative (15% wool). Otherwise, I'd just simply find a chunky that you like that has at least 15% wool in it and use that. Check your tension first and buy an extra ball just in case (well, that's what I always did/do).
