Anyone know the best place to buy it from....I could kick myself..in the 80s I had dozens of reels of the stuff but chucked it all out!

What about:
https://www.barnyarns.co.uk/madeira-aeroflock-bulk-polyester-1000m-cone/ (https://www.barnyarns.co.uk/madeira-aeroflock-bulk-polyester-1000m-cone/)
or
https://www.sewessential.co.uk/woolly-nylon-overlocking-thread-1000m-spool (https://www.sewessential.co.uk/woolly-nylon-overlocking-thread-1000m-spool)
or
https://www.empressmills.co.uk/shop/sewing-threads/overlocking-thread/woolly-nylon-thread/ (https://www.empressmills.co.uk/shop/sewing-threads/overlocking-thread/woolly-nylon-thread/)
I'll be honest, I bought a box of this ages ago http://www.c9store.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=woolly+nylon&product_id=988 (http://www.c9store.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=woolly+nylon&product_id=988) - not the finest quality but nice colours and it works for me (when I think of it)!

Thanks for that.. at 50p it’s worth trying.

You found it but if anyone else is wondering, this is the the correct link I meant to post for the C9store stuff http://www.c9store.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=203 (http://www.c9store.co.uk/index.php?route=product/category&path=203), and if you like it Efemara you can buy a box of 36 on Amazon here (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Shan-Fashion-Colour-trends-overlocker/dp/B00ICVLCII/ref=sr_1_1?m=A2W3KQTXC3PZ2H&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1521846904&sr=1-1&keywords=woolly+nylon&dpID=51RUYq871WL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch) :)

It's not really open to the public but I've been able to pop to the C9store and pick up large cones of woolly nylon the dance school is across the road from them. It's not really open to the public and the big cones aren't listed on the website but if you contact Emily I'm sure she'll be able to send them in the post and do the transaction over the phone. She's very helpful.
She doesn't have the full range of colours in the big cones but I think it was something like £4 a cone without p&p (may have got that wrong but it was very cheap). I don't use loads of it but I've had no problems whatsoever.

You can get 10 x 1000 cones for £5 or 4 x 5000 cones from Tyesew (https://www.tysew.co.uk/haberdashery/threads?page=11) it is very nice thread, not at all woolly but a really nice quality and sews beautifully.
