It’s been two months since Shaws the Drapers entered liquidation with their own brand Marriner Yarns becoming unavailable. Since then, we’ve received numerous communications from knitters eager to source their favourite yarns. We have discovered some of the remaining yarn from stores is now being sold by Island Wool on ebay. Stocks are being regularly updated and the seller is open to direct messaging on Instagram so if you’re after particular yarns it’s probably worth getting in touch with them.
