You can try Herrschners in the U.S. It seems from their shipping info (look under "customer service" on their website) that they do ship internationally.

Thank you for the Herrschners link. They don't seem to have what I looking for but I've emailed them anyway.

I know that what I want is lurking somewhere. Just have to sniff it out.

Or you might try Mary Maxim's.

Wombat,
Did you click on the "By Brand" under Crochet Thread on the Herrschner's site? They have Cebelia, SouthMaid, Aunt Lydia's etc.

I buy my yarn on line from JoAnns. They have most kinds.

I used to be able to find size 5 in Cebelia, but I guess it's no longer available, at least not here in the States.

( I miss it, too. I should have stocked up on it once I found out it would no longer be available, big sigh )

But I now use Opera crochet thread. Try this sight. I hope it helps you out.

Hi, me again. If you go to the knitting-warehouse site, go to their home page, crochet thread, and it's made by Coats.

(Sorry, on 2nd glass of zinfandel, I guess I should not sip and surf !!)
