About Us

Great British Yarns is an online stockist of knitting yarns, patterns and accessories. All our goods are supplied by British companies and most are British produced and/or finished. You will find a wide range of knitting yarns and accessories from skeins of natural and organic fibre through to striking hand dyed yarns in vibrant colours. We also aim to support and promote British craftspeople and this is reflected in our buttons, stitch markers and notecards.

Our suppliers are a wide range of yarn and wool enthusiasts, ranging from small mills to urban dyers! As you would expect, their yarns are also wide ranging from cashmere, alpaca and silk to organic wool. Whether your preference is for knitting socks, hats, jumpers or blankets we hope you will find the perfect yarn here.

We aim to despatch your order within 24 hours of receipt. We offer a flat rate shipping charge of £2.50 per order for UK customers so why not take advantage of this by combining items from your favourite producers in a single order. We also ship worldwide and details of our international shipping rates can be found on the terms and conditions page. We accept payment by all major debit and credit cards via PayPal.

We hope you will enjoy browsing through our selection. We will be adding new suppliers on regular basis so keep visiting! If you have any comments on our site, do get in touch - we would love to hear from you.
