Weaving yarns - UK based
« on: January 08, 2018, 04:03:07 pm »

Can anyone recommend a tried and tested supplier of UK based weaving yarns (as in wool from UK sheep breeds)? Thinking of getting my loom back out, probably looking to make some cushion covers or similar...

Airedale yarns have a section of British wool on cones - they have a limited range of natural colours.
