hazmail Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Go down to the local 'Haberdashery' shop and snoop through the tule etc, you can buy it by the metre (yard). The lace section has some interesting stuff, especially in the underwear laces, you will get some strange looks, when you tell them you make fishing lures (oh yeah, sure) but it is worth the risk.pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Fish Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I don't know what the pattern is exactly but what about old window screens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dink Master Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The links on my last post, not that good. Google (activ-wire mesh) you will find some good links. http://www.nationalartcraft.com/subcategory.asp?gid=11&cid=309&scid=1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike-A-Pike Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 The problem I've noted is the wire mesh in about 1/2 inch is the smallest wire mesh that would come from a net source. If you have a local hardware store Est. 1920, you may find what your looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
