What is a good source for boa yarn? Do the craft stores carry this?
Hi Red,
My Walmart carries it.*G* Warm regards,
Jim
Walmart had it in the Craft section. It was seperate from the yarn and I had trouble finding it right off.

Boa yarn??!! How do you make yarn from a snake?
Semper Fi!
You don't, you buy it at Wal-Mart. Somebody ELSE made the yarn from the snake.

It's made from a very small snake by very small people in a very small country in Africa!! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif

It is also available at A. C. Moore craft store and Michael's Craft Store.
While I haven't found boa yarn at a dollar store, I have found Caron "Feathers" yarn at one. "Feathers" yarn is chenille with a piece of eyelash yarn wrapped around it. Cool stuff.

I grabbed a bunch at some Lewiscraft store closings. Another style is Paton's Twister which is also a chenille/eyelash combo.
One tip I can offer is to pull apart the two strands holding the eyelashes since only one is needed. Just poke a bodkin between them and pull. This reduces the bulk and the yarn then becomes a synthetic soft hackle http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/wink.gif
Here's another use for them:

Thanks fishy....just tried that and I like it...that bulk was bothersome.....now what are you going to do with the strand you pulled out?
