Thread: Yellow Boa Yarn

  1. #1

    Default Yellow Boa Yarn

    I know a lot of you have tied the boa yarn flies. I need help finding the yellow boa yarn. I have tried over a half dozen sites on Internet, many Walmarts, Hobby Lobbys, and fabric stores and no one has the yellow boa yarn. Can you please help me? Thanx in advance, mathcarver

    None around Paris either. I did find a gold color yarn that had loops on one side. Split the loops and tied it up on a streamer hook. It looks pretty shaggy like a leech. Only $1 at Big Lots. Have not fished with it yet.

    I think we have a case of temperature discrimination. It doesn't get cold enough in McComb or Paris for the store to have a demand for that product in your area.

    This has come up before. I can't find it at a store either. Got a couple feet at a yard sale last spring but thats all.
    Sometimes the other ones go away, but I'm always right here.

    It is just about impossible to find, unfortunately. I bought some on eBay that turned out to be a bit of a darker yellow ("goldenrod") than what I was hoping. The best yellow boa yarn I've used is a nice bright yellow that is made by Mei Mei. Rick Z had sent me a skein of it several years ago. In the same sharing spirit he exhibited, I in turn have gifted quite a bit of it to others.

    My "lifetime supply" may not actually last me that long, but I can still share.

    There are a number of manufacturers that sell boa yarn...it surprises me the lack of availability of many of the colors we are interested in. In addition to the yellow, other colors of it that are worth using include black, white, various shades of gray/silver, and orange. Brown, purple, ...I've seen a lime/chartreuse color that my neighbors used in some crafts, but I haven't seen it sold anywhere. Strange, right?

    Wouldn't white boa yarn and a supply of Sharpies cover a multitude of colors?

    Ed: I tried that some years back. Did it work? Yes. Easy to do No - a pain in the rear .
