Converting UK yarn to Australian

Pattern Central
,
1

Hi - hoping someone can help. I have a UK baby shawl pattern which uses:
80% baby alpaca 20% silk, 4 ply (fingering) wool to make the shawl.
Gauge:
19sts to 10cm over stocking stitch using 4.5mm needles
I can’t find this wool anywhere :frowning: - does anyone know of an Australian equivalent that would work?
TIA

Have you tried Yarn Sub to find the UK yarn and its equivalent?

What is the name of the yarn that the pattern recommends.

Hi - the name of the wool is UK Alpaca 4 ply. Will try the link you sent me.

Thank you

I don’t know about shipping cost but it looks like LoveCrafts carries it.

I’ve looked into them but they have stopped shipping overseas because of the pandemic :frowning:
