     I do Hazel ... even in Norwich there's not a great deal of choice and since I discovered Laughing Hens website a few months ago I've bought two patterns and  two lots of yarn from them ... I've found the service to be very good and the range of yarn is great ... they always make sure the send the right dye lot and if they don't have enough in stock they get it in within a few days.  They also supply needles etc if you don't have the ones you need and they grade the patterns. according to difficulty  Some of the yarn is a little bit pricey, but it's great quality and if you're going to spend time knitting I've found it's a false economy to get the cheap yarns ... they just go saggy and baggy very quicky ... I've just finished a jumper for OH's birthday knitted in pure British Aran wool and it's great ... lovely quality.
