Where can I buy knitting needles on the high street?

I need to buy knitting needles and wool fairly quickly so don't want to order over the internet. Where can I buy them? I looked at Argos and they don't seem to sell wool and I'm not really sure where else to look. Thanks I've also checked charity shops and tescos. No luck.

1. Depends where you live. If you go to www.abakhan.co.uk you can find a list of all of their stores, they sell yarns, crafts and fabrics but they are mainly in the North West. Good Luck.
2. Check your yellow pages if you have them there for craft stores also maybe someone put them in a thrift shop.
3. Look for the nearest Wilkinsons Store. They are great for knitting needles at the lowest prices. I had a similar problem and almost gave up before I found them there. If you aren't near a store, you can buy online very safely with them. I use them loads and a happy to recommend their service to you. Happy clicking. lol
4. haberdashery shops, some department stores eg debenhams , local markets sometimes sell them or maybe argos?
5. hi hobbycraft has loads (will post the link below)
6. i know where to get needles from a high person on a street
7. in the uk there is usually a wool shop of some sort.try Original Factry Shop,Poundstretcher,and some pound shops.
8. If you are a member of a freecycle group put a wanted on there. There are probaly loads of people with needles they don't want. Or try your local department store may well have a knitting/sewing department. Otherwise if you can't find a craft or wool shop try wilkinsons. or Poundland and the like.
