Averages at 80p a spool.

Colin,

if you are after the "Hot" colours, they always cost a little bit more than the ROM ones. I got a great deal from the US Ebay, 10 spools of Brassie standard colours and 10 spools of Small standard colours for $12:00. You need to search around in the US one but there are great bargains to be had if you don't mind waiting.

Default Brassie...?

Just going through the thread... what is Brassie? Not a colour, so must be a sizing indicator. Is that correct? I notice that the UTC seem to come in MDG (Midge?), SM (Small?) and Brassie (?)
Please let me know if I am hopelessly off beam.

Brassie used to be a size when this product first hit the market, it was size inbetween small and medium, think it has since been dropped and S, M & L is now used.
