I love the one made by Rosina Smith. I have been trying to find yellow variegated yarn and crochet thread but am unable to. Icroched Barbie doll clothes and doilies from it. I also can't find it in green ad before either. I would appreciate any help finding it. And if possible have the colors pattern from the one RS made please.
