    I'm not looking for quality, just some wool to knit then make a big patchwork blanket for snuggling on the sofa and watching TV.

    Any ideas where I can get balls of wool that won't cost me the earth. Some scary prices on the net I tell you.. be cheaper buying a fleece blanket but where's the fun in that? Ooops, not really money saving dammit!

    100% acrylic wool:confused:

    I would love to know this too. I want wool or cotton yarns like Rowan make but the prices are horrendous.

    Do you mean wool, or yarn?

    If it is yarn that you want there are lots of places that do 100g balls of DK for under £1, they are usually acrylic.

    Pure wool is far more expensive.
