I do for soft hackles. For the most part Pearsall's is the brand you want to get your hands on although there might be others out there. Gossamer silk works as a tying thread and the floss (Marabou Floss I think is what it's called) is great for steelhead/salmon flies, although not inexpensive. Also check with any sewing shops in your area. I went to one by me and bought about 35 spools of Corticelli size A in about 7 different colors for about $1.50/spool, which was a steal as they are all 100 yard spools. DJ
