I have a pretty good supply of most sizes of netting needles, but the one that I need the most is the really skinny ones. I'm talking in the 1/4 inch wide size. Lee Fisher nets in Tampa used to carry a variety of net making supplies, but appears to have gotten out of that business. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

hello FLLEE
...if you can't find the needles you might try making
your own??!...you can get precision cut wood at

Midwest Products Co., Inc.

...they have walnut, cherry and mahogany in sizes
that will make a net needle...in fact, you can probably
make a net needle that is better than you can buy?!!...

Try lacis http://www.lacis.com/catalog/data/n_lacenettingfilet.html

the smallest size (a bit expensive) is 1/4"wide
or try Brunson Net
http://www.brunsonnet.com/index.c...tegory.display&category_ID=11
has 3/8" needles at a more reasonable price
Or make your own as Dan said. That way you have exactly what you want. Tony
