I love going back to my hometown of Manchester for so many reasons (not least this, this and this) but one of them is to browse in the Sew-In shop in Didsbury. It's wonderful, friendly and cheap! There's a great yarn sale bucket and the non-sale yarns don't seem to be at all as pricey as those down here (sigh). And I found these!
Aren't they gorgeous? Twilleys of Stamford Freedom Spirit yarn (#513, left, and 508, right): all shades are available from GetKnitted. Apart from being absolutely beautiful colours and 100% wool, a 50g ball is under £3. But if you go to Manchester it's only £2.50/50g - if you get a SuperSaver train ticket from Bristol and you buy enough yarn, you might save money! :0)
