That green is beautiful. Did you use moss stitch to get the texture? Very nice scarf!
Can you get Cascade 220 yarn in Australia? I just got some in their color #9484 "Stratosphere". It is a deep cobalt blue that is well saturated. Here's a link:

Bendigo don't have a Cobalt, but in their Colonial range they have a very nice 'Regal' and in the Classic range 'Prussian' is a very nice blue. Both are pure wool. I can recommend their alpaca range. I am knitting with it at the moment.

Love the green and the texture - what is the stitch?
Does your lys carry Lamb's Pride by Brown Sheep? If so they make a lovely cobalt blue in both bulky and worsted and (at least in the states) a retailer can place an order of only one skein if they want - there isn't a minimum requirement.

whats funny is i'm in the process of re-using my 1x1 (30 sts wide) seed-stitched blanket panel (instead of doing the whole blanket all at once) as the "new" yarn for the "wild oak cable" i fell in love with.
the blanket/afghan is made out of lion brands wool-ease bulky, knitting on size 11 rosewood needles, but the cables are done on size 13 to help with the tightness.
i'll post pix of all WIPs soon, i promise

It is 4 ply worsted weight, so I'm not sure whether or not that would meet your needs. Good luck in your hunt!
