Would you, by any chance, have one skein of «cloud nine» #161104 Bernat Baby Blanket, made exclusively for JoAnn's tucked away somewhere in your warehouse… There's another number on the wrapper (#04749) that may help… I have scoured both JoAnns in my area without success, but thought you maybe would have one skein lying around without a home… I need just enough to complete my beautiful Afghan… Thank you, Sherry
