Hi there folks,

I'm at the moment looking for a reliable supplier of wool for my current project of knitting a Doctor Who scarf. As a doll maker, a good wool supplier comes in handy also (Lincraft only has so many colours, doncha know).

So far the grand interweb machine has pulled up http://www.thewoolshack.com.au/ which seems to look alright. (edit: a lot of expensive wool on this site, mind)

Any other suggestions as to online wool suppliers would be most appreciated smile.gif

I'm starting to wonder if it would be less trouble to dye wool to the colours I need it... mellow.gif
