NEvermind, I gave my Visa a workout online and bought the brown sheep stuff!
worked out just as cheap even with the shipping added on!

Yet another question...

I want to buy the wool to make a hat, and the pattern needs:

Brown Sheep Company Lamb's Pride Bulky (85% wool/15%mohair; 4 oz/125
yds)
To knit on US10.5 (6.5mm) needles.

So heres the loaded questions, either where can I buy this online in the
UK,
or what's a good equivalent? Thought I might try and makes cool stripy
hats
for two of my friends this Christmas!

Charlie.


Charlie,
You can use any bulky yarn or any yarn for that matter just as long as
your
gauge matches the one given in the pattern, and you have the right
yardage.
Rowanspun Chunky or Yorkshire Tweed Chunky will do. Cleckheaton and
Patons
also make several bulky weight yarns.
If you are near Bradford, there are a couple of mill stores there that
have
a wonderful selection of yarns and the prices are excellent. Knight and
Lee
have a good selection of yarns and the clerks are extremely helpful.
