BTW, with the holidays coming on, don't neglect all the seasonal stuff you can use for your tying kit: all sorts of glitter and sparkle things.
F'rinstance, last year in the dollar store I picked up a couple of packages of shat they called icecles. About the size of flash-a-bou. Each pack contains 600 strands, each 18 inches long. For a buck!
Can y'all imagine what that would have cost if it said "fly tying tinsel" on the label?
I got them in silver and red. But it wouldn't surprise me to find there are other colors available.
Ya gotta just stay alert to the possibilities.
