Welcome To Great British Yarns

Online and mail order stockists of a wide variety of beautiful knitting yarns from British companies and producers. We stock yarn from Rowan, King Cole, Knitwitches, The Natural Dye Studio, The Old Piggery, EasyKnits, Jenny Cook, UK Alpaca and Coldharbour Mill to name a few. We also keep a range of gifts and cards from Crafty Gifts and Herdy. Accessories such as buttons and bamboo knitting needles are from Patricia Baggott and Pony. If you are looking for knitting patterns try our selection from Rowan and independent designers such as Patricia Baggott and Sandy of Proud Yarns.

We support industry from around the British Isles wherever possible. For example, Sandy Gilbert's range of truly English yarns is complemented by Scottish yarns from Old Maiden Aunt, and Welsh yarns from Knitwitches.

Our new fabric range from Rowan includes Amy Butler fabrics as well as a large range from FreeSpirit fabrics. We also have a large selection of Amy Butler sewing patterns. We sell fabrics in fat quarters or longer lengths.

Gift Certificates

Gift Certificates

We are pleased to offer gift certificates for amounts from £5 upwards. These are presented in an attractive greeting card from the Herdy range - so you will be supporting Lake District charities as well as giving a gift!

Unfortunately our software means we cannot bypass the postage on this, so you will be charged our flat rate £3.50 postage on top of the voucher value. This will be added to the value of the voucher by way of free postage when the recipient makes an order to be shipped to a UK address or a £3.50 discount outside of the UK.

We can post the gift certificate directly to the recipient. If you would like a personal message included in the card, please add this to the comments section when you checkout.
