First, I hope you have found the lost ones. If not, and if Joe can't help, Angel yarns have them, but they do warn that they are delicate (yikes). Also, Stash yarns in Putney, London have the Blue Sky Alpaca needles in fancy tins, and I think they're made of surina, but they are quite expensive and had a bad review on the Knitters' Review website. Hope this helps and that your arm is fully mended soon. I really missed your blog recently and am glad to see you back. I aspire to knit something as gorgeous as Princess one day, but I'm building up to it!
