tjeeper 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2014 The marabou I saw on my last visit to Hobby Lobby was strung up into a feather boa. I was looking it over and my wife was snickering, asking me if I was also looking for a brass pole. I have plenty of marabou, so I did not buy a boa. I cannot attest to the quality of the dye, but on any given string, there were a lot of colors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petelangevin 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2014 Danville has a 500$ minimum, so if you can get a big group of your friends together you could buy a lot of material and thread. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
add147 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 petelangevin, Yes that is what I found out after doing some research. Guess I'll just stick to buying small amounts from EBay and other vendors on line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AgnesAngler 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 I've encounted a number of bad sellers on eBay, peddling thread and wire. All appeared to be full spools, but wouldn't you know it they ran out much faster than they should have. I have a feeling they are making a killing splitting the materials on used up spools. 2 for the price of one. I for one avoid eBay materials like the plague. Especially those that are difficult quality to guage upon initial inspection. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rotaryflytyingdotcom 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 It's been a few years since I ordered from Danville but unless things have changed there is a $500.00 minimum OR you pay a handling fee for a small order. I don't remember how much it was for the handling fee but it wasn't much. I paid it when I didn't have a $500.00 order and don't remember it being especially painful.

add147 0 Report post Posted April 8, 2014 Well since am I just now getting into this hobby I've only bought a small amount of stuff from there. Once I get better at tying I'll definitely start making my purchases from other places. I've got a long list of places in my favorites list on Internet Explorer...LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
