Things I actually recommend and own...
Where I buy my yarn: https://www.laurenastondesigns.com/
(I love this lot because they're a small nonlondon based business (in Devon!) and they do sustainably sourced wool that is mulesing free just note that this is British wool so if you're elsewhere and want to try and knit as sustainably as poss, take a look for local businesses you can support closer to home ;) )

My needles are KnitPro Symfonie interchangeable circular needles: https://www.knitpro.eu/d/symfonie/int...
and I buy them from Wool Warehouse which is a small midlands based business! https://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/catal...
... but you can also get them from John Lewis if you have one near you and would like to take a look at them in person before buying

My row counter: https://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk/knitp...
