, it's interesting though. I have been looking around for some Purple Gossamer and some supplier of the various colours of Marabou... do Pearsall's still do Marabou? - it's 25 years since I bought my last lot and that's what the local angling shop sold.
Seems that most game retailers can only buy Pearsall's stuff through Veniard and that Persall's own embroidery site sells the spools at £2.50 (and no Marabou).
I'm somewhat curious as to the versions available for fly tying these days AND if there's ANY actual difference from the embroidery thread... surely the original tyers used this?
