Just that really. I'm looking for a wide selection and real wool, rather than low cost.

I love www.woolwarehouse.co.uk as it has such a great variety. If money's no object then www.loopknitting.com 😍

I was going to recommend Wool Warehouse too

RightsHoarder · 07/10/2022 20:18

Wool warehouse is excellent.

Black sheep wools

Wool warehouse

Tribe in Richmond are very good, with clear descriptions of the yarns, and a sensible layout - some don't let you see all the colours together.

www.tribeyarns.com

I also like WoolWarehouse.

I mostly use Woolwarehouse. I also like Hobbii (but you have to remember to order under the limit for customs charges as they are in Denmark)

And for a real treat with luxury yarn, try Posh Yarns

AdelaideRo · 08/10/2022 18:03

I predominantly buy hand dye and like a luxury base (so often merino/silk/cashmere).

My go to shops are:
Loop
A Yarn Story (Bath)

or direct from dyer - Old Maiden Aunt, Travelknitter, Woolkitchen, Skein Queen are favourites.

twilightcafe · 08/10/2022 18:05

My favourites are Wool Warehouse, Lovecrafts and Laughing Hens.

Yarnosaur · 08/10/2022 18:05

I use Wool Warehouse for commercial yarns, and hand dyed sock yarns from Etsy or spinner/dyer's own websites.

DontKeepTheFaith · 08/10/2022 18:07

Love wool warehouse and Love Crafts.

Also Vicki Brown designs for hand dyed skeins and the mini skein monthly club.

LassoOfTruth · 08/10/2022 18:53

Love Crafts are excellent as are WoolWarehouse.

Sirzy · 08/10/2022 19:17

I like woolwarehouse for their service but find their website very un user friendly from a mobile

CoffeethenCrochet · 08/10/2022 19:23

Truly hooked, Vicki brown designs, the wool shed, the lonely knitter > all fab small independent online shops.

Also the Fluffatorium by gilliangladrags outside Dorking, Surrey but also has online shop.

I do use wool warehouse too, but much prefer to support the above smaller business where possible.
