Hi everyone. So I've just gotten into hooping a few months ago, and am looking to make many more hoops so that I can have a nice variety of sized and colors for myself. I was able to find tubing at Lowes, and I've ordered tape online, but I wasn't able to find connectors anywhere in town. I ended up ordering them online, but I was wondering if any of you knew of any stores that sold them, because I'd like to avoid paying shipping if possible. Thanks for any tips, and hope to see some of you around!
