No, never seen it in France. I have seen Presencia 60 wt only at one large UK online supplier. As an example I put 3 cones in the shopping basket and total with postage to here is £72 - that's $116 !!

I buy Superior King Tut, Masterpiece or Bottom Line from 2 small UK suppliers, I pay about £5 each for them, but these 2 ladies will post to me at cost which is only letter rate for a couple of reels. I also bought thread shade cards, which is great for matching up.
