Grew up in E.KY and went to college at EKU. I didn't start buying chinelle until I moved to Alaska. Just go to your local dept store's craft section and buy one of those huge rolls of yarn. You can do so much with that stuff. I always bought the 4 strand variety. You can strip away the strands for smaller flies. Black, olive, red, orange, and brown where the colors I had. Still use the black here in Alaska for egg-sucking leeches.
Other things to consider:
Deer hair for spinning bass bugs. colors; black, red, white, olive, natural, yellow, green and chartruse.
Barred saddle hackle in griz, brown, orange and olive.
Solid saddle hackle in black, white, red, olive and chartuse.
Buck Tail, black, natural x 2, chartuse, olive, red, and orange. (you'll use more natural for the white hair, buy extra.)
Cone heads, beads, and dumbbell eyes for sub-surface action.
Don't forget hooks. Mustad 9671,9672, and bass stinger hooks or equivalent usually will do the job. Size 2-10
Thread: Kevlar or Flat waxed nylon for spinning. 3/0 to 6/0 for everything else. Black, olive, brown, white and red.

After you get all your materials here's a little list of patterns:
Bass bugs- any color combo-size 2,6,10
wolly buggers- olive/blk, chart/wht, brown/black, all black, olive, wht- size 4,6,8.
Clouser Minnow- olive/wht, chart/wht, brn/org/wht, blk/wht- size 4,6,8,10.

Hope I didn't ramble too much.
