Where can I find Ecospun yarns?

I'm looking for that Ecospun yarn, doesn't have to be a name brand. It's just the soft yarn made from recycled soda (PET) bottles. I've tried to google with no success.

I just bought the one skein a spinner had left on Etsy, it was $10 for 66 yds. But what can you make with that? I can't seem to find any more.

I really want enough to make a couple of scarves for holiday gifts.

Hope it might be helpful to you.
I think it looks fabulous.
There was also an Esty Store but hers was sold out. There was a place to click to ask if the seller had more. maybe you could try there too.
Have fun.
Colleen.

I'm not sure if it was Ecospun exactly, but I was in Wal-mart the other day (of course I had to hit the yarn section), and saw some variegated yarns on one end-cap that were made from recycled materials. I didn't read the label thoroughly, by then, I had already decided I wasn't buying yarn that day (wow).
