Hi Yvonne,

Welcome to this great group and you sure came to the right place for
help. I live in upstate NY, so can't help with the UK yarn, but I know
Sue has and others probably will chime in too.

Yes, do try a hardward or any store that sells wood, it would be
cheaper there for dowling then a carft store. Will be get to see a
picture of the angel when you finish? We do love pictures.

Hugs,

Nora
