Patons Ritz yarn was a bulky yarn. It was about 12 ply.http://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/patons-ritz
Alternative yarn choices: Patons Symphony or Wool Tweed DK
It appears by looking at the Patons link I attached, that this yarn is still available. If you don't know where to find it in your area, contact Patons and they would be able to direct you to an online or retail store in your area. (at the top of the page of the Patons link, is a Store Locator tab that you could also click on).
