I am a beginner, so here goes.
What are some good synthetic materials that replace natural ones? For example, can anything replace bucktail? Rabbit fur? etc. With the price of gas its closer for me to go to a local craft store than to travel down to the only store in the county that actually carries the natural stuff. I mail order a lot, but I get tired of paying shipping when my sales tax is a lot less.
Thanks,
dc
