Nice finds at yard sale and farmers market

[Fatman]

Found some really nice dyed wool at a stand at the Farmers market today and the lady gave me a good deal at $2 hank this is really nice long wool from some skins done this past fall and they dyed the stuff over the winter - of course DA here didn't think about asking what they used for dye until the wife and I were at the grocery store down the road!!

Pink, chartreuse and purple - this is going to make some nice float and flys and satin/wool jigs


At a yard sale on the way home got these 2 tying books for 25 cents each - the book on nymphs will go in my library and the beginners book will go to the fishing club at my wife's school for the kids to sign out.

Awesome deal Fatman!!!! I was just at a flea market and scored 2 packs of Owner twist lock light wire hooks for $1.50 per pack, 2 packs of 5/0 Gamakatu worm hooks for $2.00 each, and 2 packs of Daiichi wide gap worm hooks for $1.50 each. I have yet to find any tying materials but I keep looking!!!

She had a tangerine colored one and I should have bought it!!!!!!!  She had some sample packs and the wife said I should get those to see how I'll like it but I told her those three colors would get used A LOT and it would work cheaper to get the big hanks.  Like I said I was a DA for not asking about what she used for dyes but I have got to get the Flourescent FLY DYE colors, I've talked to RIT about getting them to offer the Florescent dyes but they don't have it planned. 

I really need to get off my butt and get tying especially since I've been out of work since April
