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 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.

New Yarns from KnitWitches

New Yarns from KnitWitches

We have just received a delivery from KnitWitches and Eirwen has surpassed herself this time! As well as some gorgeous new colours in the Silk Laceweight, we have two new types of Cashmere laceweight to add to our stock. The first is a slightly lighter 2 ply cashmere which we have in four fabulous colours. This is ideal for delicate shawls, wraps and scarves. The second is the wonderful Cashmere and silk mix which is in a class all on its own. This is the softest yarn we have found and we are lucky enough to have three colourways. This yarn is a 4 ply weight and would be suitable for socks and baby clothes as well as shawls, scarves and wraps. To view the new yarns, click here..

Gift Certificates

Gift Certificates

Just in time for Christmas! 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 £2.50 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 £2.50 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.
