“I have recently found this site and have placed several orders in relation to CDC feathers, barbless hooks in bulk, siliconised poly yarn and Dilly wax . I must say that the service is very good. The quality of all items bought is excellent. It took me a very long time before I found the correct yarn, for me, to use. See the sites notes re this yarn and its history.”
