This list might be useful to folk looking for alternative suppliers to our much-loved UK suppliers, now that Brexit is with us. These recommendations came from other spinners in Netherlands and Germany. Please note that I have not personally used any of these sellers, so as always, check out reviews etc, before you commit to anything.
