Where do you buy it?
I’m not sure if that particular brand is sold in stores these days, but you can find it on EBay, Etsy and perhaps other places online. I also believe that Byron’s original pattern was tied in pink, rather than cream as earlier pictured.

Here’s a copy of an informative post about it that he made about it on another forum awhile back that you might also be interested in.

Thank You! I just looked on Ebay and you can buy skeins of Dazzelaire. The trouble is unless you know exactly what colors you want you'll be loaded with skeins of the yarn.

The Farmy was created and named for the beloved Farmington River in Connecticut. The Farmington is located in northern Connecticut and is a tributary of the Connecticut River. The river is the only river to flow in all four cardinal directions in the Northern Hemisphere. A few notable pools on the Farmington include Boneyard, School Bus Pool and Satan’s Kingdom.
