Title: Cotton Laces
Post by: FigureSpins on November 27, 2011, 07:48:27 PM: I prefer cotton or cotton/nylon blend laces to all-nylon and I just found that Jenskates carries them:

Here's the kicker: they have them in black, white and beige! Beige is really hard to find!

Didn't it used to be Peppermint Pattie?

When I change my front porch decorations from leaves to greenery (all fake), I'll try to remember to change my avatar.

Post by: LilJen on January 20, 2012, 04:54:36 PM: Thank you again for the recommendation for Jenskates. I got my laces, as well as a bunch of other necessary items (including about 20 pairs of OTB tights for a synchro team) and they arrived within THREE days--free shipping! I will definitely shop there again. They had great prices AND had all the different things I needed.

Post by: FigureSpins on January 20, 2012, 05:02:41 PM: Excellent - glad I noticed that they had them. I still can't get over their offering BEIGE cotton/poly laces!

Last month, I ordered the Mondor Revolution OTB tights (best price for 4 pair) from www.tidewaterice.com for my DDs. I added two pair of cotton/poly laces in white to fill out the order and maximize shipping, so that's another resource to check.
