Paton's Diana Yarn????

[KER828]

My recently deceased Grandmother made sweaters in the 80's for my son and me out of Paton's Diana yarn. I LOVED that sweater and frankly wore it out. (Holes in the elbows etc.) My son loved the soft feel of the sweater when he was young. I came across the pattern for the sweater going through her things since her death. I would like to make it again but what do you think would be a current equivalent yarn? Unfortunately I have not come across a saved label to know the particulars of the yarn she used.

Not sure how much you need, but there is some on e-bay in lots. If you prefer to have the Diana yarn.
