Can anyone recommend a really good on-line place where I can buy wool?

[spongebrainmaternitypants]

Title says it all really, I just want to be able to type in the wool from my pattern and order it all on-line. I don't have a wool shop near me and the one I go to doesn't always stock exactly what I need.

I have tried googling but don't seem to be having much luck, so wonder if anyone can point me in the direction of a "one-stop shop" for all my knitting needs .

Thank you.

have you tried www.thelittleknittingcompany.co.uk?

cucumberpatch.co.uk are lovely adn have lots of reduced stuff.

I like this one for variety

i found angel yarn appalling. they took my order and my money and then nothing. when i phoned up it transpired they didn't have the yarn i ordered and just hadn't bothered letting me know.

Religious thanks for the warning I will keep it in mind.

Kemps Wool Shop has really, really good prices sometimes but limited stock - lots of Sirdar, Patons and Wendy but not much else.

www.kempswoolshop.com

Angel Yarns have a pretty bad reputation.

My favourite "one-stop shop" is www.getknitted.com. Great stock, great service, you often get sweets or a free pen with your order.

Don't forget ebay too.

I like www.Kangaroo.uk.com; good service and quite a good selection of yarns.

Thanks guys - I esp like the idea of free sweets .

Will have a look.

I mainly knit toys, so lots of DK wool required, but often struggle to get the exact colours I need.

are you on ravelry?

RB, I am on ravelry yes, I joined ages ago but haven't really been back - spend too much time on MN!

i find it good when i am considering knitting something and i can look at other peoples. sometimes a really nice looking pattern produces horrid results and vice versa. it is also good for getting ideas for alternative yarns

Thanks RB, I'm hoping to get back into doing more knitting so need to cut down my MN time - will check out Ravelry!
