Stockists

Are there Any Yarn Retailers Near Me?

We often get asked this! We work with many high street wool stockists and yarn retailers, some based in the UK and many worldwide. Please take a look at the listings below to see if there are any Blacker Yarns approved yarn retailers near you and do visit and support them if you can.

We are currently seeking more stockists, in particular those located in the United States, Canada and Australia. Please get in touch if you are a business owner with a physical store and we will send you our T&Cs and Media Pack, or if you are a customer with a favourite yarn store who might be interested in stocking our yarns we’d love to hear from you too.
