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.

Get Knitted has free shipping for orders over £50. Great British Yarns are the same (and very prompt about delivery too! That's where I bought the TimeTraveller sock yarn from). Knit & Sew UK (used to be Knitters & Sewers World) don't seem to do free postage for quantity, but are at least reasonably priced.

That's all I seem to have bookmarked on the laptop - I might have some more on the desktop if you want to wait till later...

MacAree's. They do free delivery over £10. I've used their online service a couple of times and had no problems. It helps they are my localish shop as well.

Thanks for posting this, and thanks to everyone for responding--being fairly new to the UK, it's something I didn't know.

I definitely second GetKnitted, they're great. I ordered from P2tog the other day and everything arrived within 24 hours of my order.
SockYarnShop is run by a really nice lady, as is Addicted To Knitting: http://addicted2knitting.com/

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.

Kemps is good

Most times than not, they actually have good sales on Debbie Bliss, Louise Harding, etc.

I do recommend get knitted, and if your knit pros are dodgy, they do replace them free of charge.
