Can someone tell me who makes Boa Yarn.It hasn’t appeared in UK yet, at least not in the fly-tying sector. I am sure it is made for a totally different purpose,and might be available if one but knew where to look---------Jim Clarke

Jim,

I do not think you will find it in any fly shop. This is yarn and it can be found in any shop that sells knitting yarn. We are purchasing it here in the Wal-Mart stores, Hobby Lobby and other locations that sell knitting supplies. Hope this helps your search.

Jim,
Lion Brands Yarns and Bernat are two of the yarn companies that produce boa yarns here in the US. Check one of your local yarn stores … the UK has some of the most beautiful yarns I’ve ever seen, and I know many of the shops there carry the Lion Brands Yarn.
