UK people - online yarn shop recs?

[jackandahat]

I 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.

I've only used their meatspace shop, but I've heard great things about Stitch Perfect's online shop- they offer free delivery and are supposed to be very fast. They stock Drops yarn which is fantastically cheap and good quality too.

I've not tried Drops, I'll have to look into that - thank you.

The Drops yarns are mostly utterly gorgeous and alarmingly cheap for the quality. I've got several balls of the Delight (sock-weight, variegated singles) and have used their Fabel (plain sock yarn, also comes in variegated) and the Alpaca (also sock weight) to knit some of the pairs of Cranford mitts I made.
