Discontinued Yarn Needed

A year ago when a Walmart near me closed, I found at the closeout a wonderfully soft & beautiful yarn for $1 each called Bernat Haven, a luxurious alpaca blend. I fell in love w/it & bought all that was left - 1 white, 1 light green (which I used) & 5 Honeysuckle yellow. Unfortunately the skeins are only 77 yds or 1.75 oz each. I used the Honeysuckle to start a prayer shawl, but unfortunately it's not anywhere near long enough & I need much, much more. Now I find it's been discontinued & I've searched everywhere I can find online for more of this color of Bernat Haven yarn. If anyone has any, please contact me. I need anywhere from 4 to 8 skeins. Thanks.

I know this probably won't help, but Ebay has 1 skein of Honeysuckle Yellow available..see link below:

Thanks, I will visit ebay tomorrow & see if it's still available. Even 1 skein will make it 4 to 5 rows longer & large enough for a baby's blanket or even large enough for someone in a wheelchair or in bed to just hold up to their shoulder for comfort!

Didn't win the 1 skein of Bernat Haven Honeysuckle yellow, however I found another ad for 3 skeins, won it & & am now working on the shawl again. Don't know if it will be the length I wanted to make it, but it will be long enough to make the shawl acceptable. Thanks for your suggestion.
