We have a good range of stocks of sock knitting yarn on board The Wool Boat. We have shades available from three producers, James C Brett, West Yorkshire Spinners, and Opal. We have also stock the needles that you need to start your sock knitting, which it seems can become quite addictive.
Our preferred way of supplying your yarn is for you to come and visit us at The Wool Boat where you can see the true colours and feel the quality of these lovely yarns. If you are unable to get to us we can of course post it out to you. If your order is over £35 we will do this post free, below this there will be a charge of £5. Page updated 9.5.2026
