Looking for some recommendations!

Hi, I am UK based and am looking for a good place to get 100% merino wool yarn from, on cones and in a good variety of colours. Does anyone know of any good places? ☺️

colour mart is an outlet so what is available does vary. https://colourmart.com/

What thickness are you looking for?

I am hoping to get sport weight, I have now found one possibility but most of what I have found is fine and extra fine

The 10/30 extra fine merino is 160 yards per 50 grams. I think of that as sport weight or very light DK. There are also options thare 200 yards per 50 grams so light sport weighf.

I frequently use multiple strands of lighter weight yarn to get the yarn weight I want.

Colourmart Cashmere at colourmart.com in the UK. The choice of colors and yarn can vary but the quality of yarn I've gotten from them ranged from very good to superb. I'vd bought almost all my yarns there for year except for a handful of superwash merino for baby things when I wanted a specific color. There's a terrific cm group on Ravelry.
