Knitting wool

bizzylizzy

Does anyone know the best place to buy wool? I have a C&H fabrics nearby but is there anywhere online that would work out cheaper? I want to knit fluffy scarves for presents so the wool needs to be good quality too.

You could try doing a search on this site as I`m sure this came up before and lots of people wrote in with their suggestions. One that I kept was http://www.yarn-shop.co.uk

The others were https://www.mcadirect.com https://www.buy-mail.com and https://www.knitwell.co.uk

Hope that helps

The yarn-shop that Jan has mentioned is usually my first port of call as well as http://www.getknitted.com/index.html.
For a good bargin there is an ebayer seller that I've bought from several times http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Jannettes-Rare-Yarns

Happy knitting!

If you have one near you, my QD is selling wool at 99p buy 5 get 5 free. I managed to get very fluffy wool in four different colours - only need a couple of balls for a nice scarf. I also saw very fluffy wool in Wilkinsons last week but can't remember how much it was.

What is QD?

Sadly I don't think I have a Wilkinsons near me.

QD is a large shop in Basildon (not sure if they are anywhere else!) which seems to sell just about everything - pets, toys, household, clothes, diy, at very, very reasonable prices! Anyone know if there are any more anywhere?

Wise Buys sells 3 balls of the fluffy wool with a set of needles for £1.99. Not sure if that shop is just in NI or nationwide though.

If it's good quality 100% wool you are after you could try:

I recently bought some lovely 4ply wool really cheaply to make shawls as Christmas presents. They have a bargain section and their customer service was excellent.
