    Good place to buy various textile yarns online, they have some fantastic bargains and bin-ends, and ppl living in Yorkshire or thereabout can even visit:

    Texere yarns: http://www.texere.co.uk/

    Look out for their sales and bargain offers!

    For anyone living in London (not sure whether they do mail order for people out of London, but you can ring and ask):
    Handweavers Studios: http://www.geocities.com/athens/agora/9814/

    Good Luck

    Finally I'm an OAP and can travel free (in London at least!).

    It's useful to note that British and american crochet terms are different. try this link for a comparison.
