Shel, we have a wonderful yarn store here. The ladies that own it raise alpacas, goats, etc. and weave some of the yarns they sell in the store. The hand dyed alpaca yarn is absolutely gorgeous! You'll have to come to sunny Virginia and I'll take you there!
Have you asked your mother-in-law for help? I know my friend who lives in the same town is taking knitting classes at a yarn shop in the area. I'll have to email her to find out where it is exactly.
For future reference, though: There are some online stores that will send you yarn samples to see if it's what you want. You have to buy the samples, but it can be worth it. Patternworks, which also has a catalog, is one of them.
