Liberty also has quite a bit of wool - my Mum has bought stuff for at
least two sweaters there.

If you find a wool shop that can afford the rent in Belgravia please let
me know .There is no such thing I'm sad to say ... Take the train to Elstree
( the Hollywood of UK ) and by the Church on the mainstreet you will indeed
find a very good woolshop that sells anything from Rowan and Jaeger yarn to
acrylic cheap cheap stuff . Anything for embroidery and cardmaking
..beading ..lace ...ribbons by the mile
Just like an oldfashioned haberdashery shop ...

Last time I went to London (January), I searched for yarn stores.
I went to Liberty's and John Lewis,because I most time was in the
center, but was not VERY impressed...
At home I had found this link, but I think I have seen it here lately?
http://www.loop.gb.com/shop.html
This is in the North, and I never got there, but it looks interesting.
They sell online too.
I mailed Collinette to get addresses, and here is the answer (Jan.
2006):
COLLINETTE:
Our largest suppliers in London are
Mimi Hollander
The Good Yarn Store
35a Belsize Park Gardens
London
NW3 4JJ
Telephone: 0207 586 5527
Maria Riachy
Domaqaya
20 The Boltons
London
SW10 9SU
(Loop
41 Cross Street
London

I also found Rowan Yarns in London, and I take these shops have other
yarns too:

May be you are near one of these?
