tubular horsehair/crin

I seem to recall seeing it at Tinsel Trading. They are closed until after the move but it'd be worth dropping a line or giving a call in August once they reopen.

I got a bunch of it in fun colors and metallics from my summer roommate, who had bought it up like crazy in fall at i believe it was Bed Bath and Beyond, in their holiday wrapping section, if you can imagine that.

And, if you are able to do wholesale and can deal with a $50 minimum, you can get it in a variety of diameters from this place: http://www.jasonsinc.com/ ...Their availability is hit-or-miss so you either need to not be too particular about color or be willing to call and talk to them (and, they are not very fluent with English on the phone, so that can be a stumbling block). Their white is nylon and dyes with household dyes--i did some up in bright orange for a cartoony stage wig last season.

That stuff is so fun--my summer roommate made a fascinator with it from some blue and green metallic 1", and it looked like a sea anemone!
