Does anyone know of a similar yarn to Berroco Suede? I've found a gorgeous patttern for some Ugg-style baby booties that I want to make. The pattern uses Berroco Suede which I can only find online from the USA which means the shipping costs are quite high. If anyone knows of a good alternative, I would be very grateful.

I made some of these last year and I used Lion Brand Suede fron Banyan yarns. This yarn is a bit thicker than the Berrocco, so if I made them again I would make them smaller. They did look really sweet though.
