Thanks, Dell.
After much searching on the internet I think I found a source for acetate
floss.

Hi Jeff, I believe the floss that is needed is rayon or acetate floss not
the nylon, and no I don't no where it is available in the US. Might try the
fabric stores? I think I have some that I acquired from an old time tier,
have to see if I can find it.
