You really don't want much from any kind of store like that for Neck Hackle. It's better just to order it from places you order other thing s too and get them all at one time so you save on shipping cost. Don't think you will beat Crazy Angler on that Neck Hackle and he has lots of other things you can get from him at the same time.
I have never found much in the way of good feathers at hobby lobby, but some find things there they use, just not me as I just don't find good materials there. You can pick up some feathers like peacock or may be Pheasant, not sure about them though. I have seen marabou there, but usually in some or one of the things some may put around their necks or something, but not the best quality IMHO.
Look for strung neck hackle and compare it with Crazy Angler and I bet he beats it. He's got chenille, marabou, hackle and a load of lots of other things.

I'm agreeing with Skip, 100%. Crazy has a lot of cool tying materials,something new everytime I go there. Try the PALMER CHENILLE,it's a crappie killer.
crazyanglertackle.com or on here his name is flatfish46. his prices are the best!!!!!!!
He sure does have a lot of good stuff on his site. I've ordered from him 2 or 3 times and i've been happy with the stuff i received.
pus usually have product in you hands within 3-4 days.....awesome shipping time..
One other thing is none (that I know of) the hobby places has what your looking for with Neck Hackle or most any kind of hackle. You may once in a while find things you can use at the stores like that, but not your prime tying feathers.
You may want to keep looking at them though because feather ear rings is getting to be a hot too. I thought of making them about 3-4 years back and just never got the stuff to do it.

Does anyone here use Barlows? I have made two orders through them and have been happy with the products I received. I will check out Crazy Angler.
sounds good guys i am planning on usind crazy angler for all my orders, i justed needed to pick up a pink for this weekend and didnt want to do a order for one item. thanks for the warning on supplies from local stores.
I have used them, but it was about 4-5 years ago when I first started. Barlow's has the same neck hackle that Crazy Angler has and I do think his is less. Don't have any real complaint with Barlow's, but when you can buy the same stuff for less it makes since to me.Quote:
