yarm annoyances

Why do yarn companies have to go and discontinue yarns?

I was trying to find a specific yarn - Fortissima cotton sock yarn, in lavender - technically lilac, color #23. This should not be so difficult! But GAH it is. I've been going through yarn store after yarn store on the phone, and nobody seems to have it. I found one place that had a 100% cotton yarn from the same manufacturer in what she thinks is the same weight and color - I ordered some - here's praying that works.

Grrrrrr.

It's a long shot, but have you checked eBay?

eBay would be too slow - I have a deadline here.
