        I was fascinated by buckle and moher yarn, but I did not find any source in Europe where to buy it. If I bought it in America, not only would the postage be high, but I would also pay extra for the duty. I’m not sure how it is with sending goods from Great Britain after Brexit.

        Does anyone have an idea?

        As for cotton, the equivalent of the popular 8/2 would be in this producer in the Czech Republic.

          You could try looking at the advertisements in European or Scandinavian weaving magazines like Vav? Vav has some of the ads posted online.

          You may not have to pay duty if it is under a certain amount and I think certain things are exempt from duty at least into the US.  Have you looked at individual websites?  Many will have  international postage already outlined in their shipping policy.

            I tried the goods for about $ 100 and the cost of postage and duty was around $ 120 from shop in US. It is not worth ordering at a low price, because the cost of postage is the same.
