Hi Andria. Yes, I have also used the one in Gallowgate. She is another one good for a few really cheap bargains in her sale rack. Wouldn't be the first time I popped in for a look and came out with 2 bags full.
If you find yourself out at the Forge Market any time, there is also a stall there. It sells some good 400g and 500g balls of Robin arran for £5.
Of course PoundStretchers also have some great prices - Paisley Road West in Cardonald is my one of choice.

Well I think that knitting and crochet must definately be having a bit of a revival. Pretty much every pound shop or similar seems to be selling at least a small range of yarn colours. They may be rather bright and not the best or softest for you to make yourself a sweater but for blanket stock, it is perfect. Happy shopping folks.

Abakhan website special offer - spend £35v or more and you get free p&p. Lots of fancy yarns, fluffy yarns and such for really excellent prices and lots of nice good quality ones too.

Have a look if your yarn store can handle it.

I am looking forward to my delivery arriving soon.

I love buying yarn from charity shops to do charity knitting. It seems like a win/win for everyone.

I buy yarn and toys as long as there's not ball stuffing - I give these to my beagle, who loves them, they last about 20 minutes and I consider it a good deal, the charity gets some cash, I save cash and my best beagle gets some enjoyment. A definite win win situation ;)

It is such a small world!- Marjory's is the local wool shop for my mum and sister who live in Newlands, Glasgow,so I can picture exactly where it is! You are right, it is quite small but absolutely packed with goodies. I am lucky too as although I live in a small Cornish town we have a very nice little wool shop(called The Wool Shop! -in Pike Street, Liskeard) which has a good stock and lovely friendly people working there. I have been buying wool from them for abou 23 years-and am still using some of the original balls!! We also have Trago Mills near us which anyone who has visited this part of Cornwall knows is a mind-bogglingly large discount store, with some good bargains in wool, though it is difficult to walk out of without buying lots of other things you don't really need!
