    Default Floss source

    Looking for suggestions on sources for SINGLE strand acetate type floss. Not silk.
    It used to be common bur now most are 4 strand except the fluorescents.

    Hi Ray,

    Danville distributes that type of floss in a fairly wide range of colors. Any dealer who stocks Danville thread can get the floss. The floss makes some really awesome ant bodies. Take care & ...

    Try contacting Steve at Golden Rule Fly Shop. He has all sorts of different flosses including Danville acetate in just about every color. Only place I've been able to find the harder to get colors: [url=http://goldenruleflyshop.com/:acb4d]http://goldenruleflyshop.com/[/url:acb4d]

    Al: Missed you at ISE San Mateo this year!

    I haven't tied a whole lot with floss yet but I have been using both uni-stretch and uni-flexx pretty successfully. The Stretch is not as shiny as the Flexx.
