    Default Loooking for some materials

    Ok so I have started tying some saltwater stuff and need some materials that seem to be hard to come by... the first of which is Aunt Lydia?s Sparkle Yarn. Now I have found a source for that but it's from a weavers site so I have to buy a skein which is WAY too much. the second is a sub for the a fore mentioned material and is called McFlyon fibers on this one I have found nothing but patterns that call for it when searching. Anyone got a source or a really good sub?? Thanks in advance.

    Steve,

    Try here:
    http://www.saltwaterflies.com/catalog2.html

    They have the sparkle yarn and McFlyon yarn. Been a few years since I dealt with them but they were good folk.

    Regards,
    Scott

    If you're tying something like merkins, kwans, or toads, use rug yarn.
    The stuff used for hooking rugs
    You should be able to find it at any craft store
    If not PM me and I'll send you some
