Things I actually recommend and own... Where I buy my yarn: https://www.laurenastondesigns.com/ (I love this lot because they're a small non-london based business (in Devon!) and they do sustainably sourced wool that is mulesing free - just note that this is British wool so if you're elsewhere and want to try and knit as sustainably as poss, take a look for local businesses you can support closer to home ;) )
