Comment on Looking at craft supplies on eBay, and one of my policies is that if they aren&#
There *are* small online businesses that I do favour (that aren't on eBay). Some specific examples:
Local Australian chainmaille supplier. Some of their rings are imported, but others they make themselves. They are my go-to supplier for plain Aluminium rings, because they have better quality of those than anyone else, because they take the time to polish them.
https://basketbases.com.au/shop-timber-basket-bases/
Timber bases for crocheted baskets. Very high quality, not imported, and several different designs.
Polymer Clay, Jewellery and Beading Supplies. Not a place to go to for beads (there are cheaper elsewhere) but has more obscure things like Kumihimo weights that I haven't found elsewhere.
