About The Great British Yarn Company
Yarn sorted by weight and brand
The shop groups its yarn by thickness, which helps when a pattern calls for something specific. You can pick from 2 ply and 4 ply, baby yarn, DK, Aran, chunky and super chunky. Brands include Stylecraft, Hayfield and Cygnet Yarns. Value packs bundle several balls together for bigger projects such as blankets. A section of knitting patterns gives ideas for what to make next.
Who it suits
It is a good fit for regular knitters and crocheters who get through a lot of yarn. Beginners hunting for a first pattern with matching wool are well served too. Gift cards are available, which helps if you are buying for a crafter and are unsure what they need.
