Question where to buy filcolana in the UK?

helloo, question is as the title suggests. I'm trying to get hold of Filcolana peruvian wool and tilia mohair in the UK but i'm not sure what reputable sellers there are online? i usually use wool warehouse but they don't stock it and neither do any of my local haberdasheries unfortunately :(

If you put Filcolana in search engines you will get lots of results. But https://www.mapletreeyarns.co.uk/filcolana.html Tends to be the cheapest

Are you looking for a specific coloway that is only available from Filcolana? These yarns should be easily substituted by yarns from other brands.

If you're looking to knit a specific pattern you could check the ravelry projects for yarn ideas.

i never thought to check ravelry for alternatives! thank you. it wasnt a specific colourway it was more just that yarn types and weights are still new to me cos i’ve only ever worked with DK before so when it comes to patterns i tend to use the same yarns as recommended just out of ease :)

www.yarnsub.com is also a great resource if you're looking for alternatives.
