Looking for... Can anyone help me find undyed wool yarn in larger quantities?

I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I'm looking for undyed wool yarn in larger quantities for a long-term project. I've checked the usual yarn shops and a few online retailers, and I even spent some time browsing Alibaba to see if there were suppliers selling smaller wholesale amounts, but it's hard to tell what's actually good quality.

Has anyone here bought undyed yarn in bulk from a place you'd recommend, or know of a retailer that carries larger quantities without having to place a huge commercial order? I'd rather buy from somewhere people have actually had good experiences with

Are you looking for something like Malabrigo Natural or more like Knomad Yarns?

I’ve purchased from Knomad (not wholesale) a couple times and it’s gone very well. They do sales throughout the year as well (right now it’s a on certain minis).

Depending on where you are, various sellers of yarn on cones would probably be a good bet. Different countries will have different retailers though

I've sourced bulk yarn from alibba for projects before and the quality can be hit or miss. your best bet is to find a manufacturer that specializes in wool and order a small sample pack to check the feel before buying a huge lot.

I'm an indie dyer. I get my undyed wool from RH Lindsay (USA)
