    Default Material Swap

    I have participated in 2 of the Fly swaps on the forum, thought they were brilliant!

    I have recently been sifting through my materials, to see what I use most often, and this gave me an idea.

    Why dont we create a thread where by we can all swap materials.

    I'll start off. I have some polar fleece in 2 different colors. Now I have so much that I'll never be able to use it all up. Lets swap, what have you got?

    I also have various Ice dub and Diamond Brite type materials, which I most likely wont use up either, so prepared to swap some of that to.

    What about people posting specific things that they may be looking for, then others who may have it can respond, guys can exchange info of other stuff they have surplus of that they would be willing to exchange

    I'll start:

    I'm looking for a pack or 2 of white antron yarn and also some white Ostrich herl. Also looking for some good CDC in black and brown and olive.

    If you've got any of the above, reply and I'll ruffle through my drawers to look for some swappable materials.

    There is nothing in particular that I want.
    I have way too much stuff to list.

    The best way to do this is to get together and paw through everything.

    Yep that's what I was suggesting for anyone who can make 1 November evening at Saints - seeing is much better - I'll bring my extensive rubbish along! Maybe you guys in other areas can hold your own get-together on a materials swop?
