    I am fairly new to buying wool online. I am using Dragon Yarns at the moment, with postage. Diane's looks tempting. Lot of people seem to rate Delamore's. Free postage over £15.

    Falcoln Wools is another one I remember from years ago. But they don't seem to exist any more either.

    Just noticed Delamores have a group on Ravelry. Looks like they post all their latest offers etc

    I've bought loads from Kemps and always been very happy with the prices and the service.
    Oh dear, here we go again.

    Morning,

    I was christened Janet. Shortened to Jan by everyone but my Mum. GD1 called me Nanny, then discovered the joy of rhyming it with Janny. Haha we said. That's funny. Then it stuck!

    You've given me inspiration for my avatar actually, if I could work out how to get the photo on right. :mad: -GD1 and 2 gave me a lovely wooden box for all my knitting bits in progress, for Xmas. With NannyJanny inscribed on the side!

    Wow! That is beautiful. Lovely colours.

    Have just finished cabled hoodie for GD1. Done too much plain-ish knitting lately. Seen yours and now I need a brain teaser to do. Off into the pattern box again!
