Default Uni product kits in the UK ?

I did not realise that once you get into a few patterns and really into fly tying the number of spools you once thought you had in plenty supply soon reduce in numbers so fast.

But i have been trying to find some where that sells box's , kits of thread / wire , floss etc. And so far all i have come across is Uni products available in collections from Canada and they dont display delivery rates to the UK.
i had found someone in the UK with a set of 144 spools but they sold the last kit and may not be able to get any more.
also looked on ebay and it seems Canada comes up again in what i am after lol/

kits of Black 6/0 thread would be ideal as well as kits of floss , threads , wire , tinsels.

James,

Please don't splash out on a combo pack from Uni - you will end up with spools of thread in colours that you will most likely never use.

Best to buy just the colours your require!

P.M. on it's way to you ...

Kind regards

Do not know about the rest but GAC definately do the packs of UNI tying threads in popular colours.
If I remember 20 spools in the pack.

Not only that but the multi pack spools have a lesser amount.

like mayfly said you get less than the single spools, the packaged ones are usually 50 yards instead off the 200....buy your own choice seperately
you end up with dodgy colours aswell
