i live on the other end of connecticut from j stockard and it usuall takes a week plus to get an order. not very efficient for being 70 miles away. j stockard is NOT a brick and mortar store so driving there and picking it up is not an option.

what is idk?? notice how the biots are tied in with the dark edge up on one side and down on the other side. should be the same on both sides. too many wraps of thread behind the bead i'd like to see the peacock herl covering the butt ends of the wings wings and tails too long
