Ok so I have started tying some saltwater stuff and need some materials that seem to be hard to come by… the first of which is Aunt Lydia?s Sparkle Yarn. Now I have found a source for that but it’s from a weavers site so I have to buy a skein which is WAY too much. the second is a sub for the a fore mentioned material and is called McFlyon fibers on this one I have found nothing but patterns that call for it when searching. Anyone got a source or a really good sub?? Thanks in advance.

Steve,
Try here:

They have the sparkle yarn and McFlyon yarn. Been a few years since I dealt with them but they were good folk.

Thank you, really appreciate the link, will be calling them tomorrow.

If you’re tying something like merkins, kwans, or toads, use rug yarn.
The stuff used for hooking rugs
You should be able to find it at any craft store
If not PM me and I’ll send you some
Steve, check your PM’s.
