Metallic Crochet Thread and Other Fancy Supplies

I am crocheting a snowflake afghan and have been using Nomis gold metallic thread (it's polyester and nylon, along with my regular white yarn) that I had from a project I did years ago. I have run out and and can't seem to find anything similar anywhere.

This "thread" is much like Christmas tree icicles material, but comes in spools. If anybody can point me to the right direction, I'd be eternally grateful.

Have you tried looking in the embroidery aisle of any sewing center store? We have Joann Fabric and Hobby Lobby. Both have that type thread on spools in those aisles. Also, try Kreinik.com. They have a selection of metallic threads that perhaps would be what you are searching for. Hopefully you can locate what you need from one of these places. Good luck!
