Victoria Sampler Materials Question

I'm thinking of starting the Good Friends sampler from Victoria Sampler
soon since I'm almost done with my current TW project. The thing is, I
don't want to order her pre-made accessory packs since they state that
they only have enough materials to complete one sampler. I was
thinking I'd separately purchase entire skeins of all the materials and
that way I could have leftovers for other uses again in the future but
I can't seem to find some of the things. For example, YLI silk ribbon
or SJ Designs beads. None of the shops I've checked have these brands.
Has anyone experienced this or does everyone just get the actual
accessory pack and I'm being obsessive?

I have bought the accessory pack in the past and had plenty left over,
although I don't know if it would be enough to complete a whole second
sampler.

On the bright side, Threadneedle Street (www.threadneedlestreet.com) has
both YLI silk ribbon and SJ Designs beads. You'll have to use the
search function to pull up the YLI, but it is there. The best thing is
probably to email Denise with your shopping list and she'll get
everything for you. Not affiliated, but have always been very happy.

Thank you Elizabeth, I've never shopped with them before but I'll give
it a try.
The thing is, the Good Friends sampler has two versions - either
vertical or horizontal and I'd like to possibly do both so I just
wanted that option.
Thanks again!

Another advantage would be you would know what you have! I got one of
their accessory kits and the materials were hard to identify. . .
