Default Best Website For Materials?

What website would you reccomend for buying materials, or site with most materials selling.
Cheers
Ali

I wouldn't recommend buying all your tying gear from one particular shop/online dealer.

All depends on what you need.

For natural materials, you cannot beat Cookshill

http://www.cookshill-flytying.co.uk/

For standard synthetic materials, try Lakeland, Celtic, Fly only and many of the forum members

http://www.celticflycraft.co.uk/
http://www.lakelandflytying.com/
http://www.britnett-carver.co.uk/flyonly/

For unusual and interesting materials, give the Flytying Boutique a try ...

http://www.flytyingboutique.com/

Kind regards

Buying all your materials from just the one supplier is a bit like buying all your food from one shop!...............Having said that,there is only one place to buy Fritz and Marabou and that'sThe Big Reel

I buy all my materials from the same supplier (at least so far) but then I'm overseas and I'd rather have less packages in the post that might get lost plus it's cheaper on postage. I use Celtic Flycraft and highly recommend them, one of the best web sites as well.
