knittingI moved just before Christmas and the new house is brilliant in every way... except it's not near any yarn shops! I have a John Lewis, and that's it. So I'm looking to order online for the first time.
Do any of the UK knitters here have personal recs for good places to buy yarn online? I've found various options on Google, but I'd like to go with something I know is good. At the moment I'm mostly looking to buy sock yarn. I'm on a budget but willing to save up, and stuff like "Free shipping over £25" is great because I'm willing to buy a bunch at a time.
Thank you.

Mavis of Bushey - varied but limited selection (i.e. they have some of a lot of things, and sometimes a lot of some things!).
SockYarnShop - if you want sock yarn, this is a good place! Reasonably priced, no free shipping but reasonable rates. (This is the place I won the skein of Scrumptious 4-ply from.)
P2tog - they're closing down and having a sale, 25% off with the code. But the shop has been taken over, so will continue under new ownership.
