knittingIn my LYS the other day, I made the mistake of picking up a single 50g ball of Patons Fairytale DK #6382, which in this incarnation of that shade number is the perfect colour for Bigger on the Inside... but a quarter of the total quantity required.
Unfortunately, Patons are currently in the middle of rebranding the Fairytale DK range, and (worse still) they've already reused that shade code (6382) to be, well, less a solid navy and more a variegated spotted pastel thing.
I can't find the thing I'm looking for anywhere. I think I don't even really care about dye lot (though, on a desperate long shot, this ball is lot 30995). I don't have any idea what else to do with it.
I would be a tiny pathetic grateful creature if anyone can:
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuu. (Current project on the needles is Sooper Sekrit, after a fashion, as far as the Internet goes, but got admired a lot in public today and I look forward to sharing it with everyone soooooooooooon :D)

I would be a tiny pathetic grateful creature if anyone can:
- track down some more of this wretched yarn somewhere online (I've already turned to other people's google-fu elsewhere and had them not succeed any more than me), or
- dig some out of their stash in exchange for suitable remuneration, or
- ... suggest something else to do with 155m of navy DK...
