Default 96 COE Sample/Starter Packs - who has them?

I'm looking to give some 95 COE glass a try, but trying to pick out the individual colors makes my head spin. Does anyone sell sample packs or starter packs? Thanks for you help.
Julie

The first two I can think of are Gail from GG Glass (ggglass.com) and Michelle at Caliente (calienteglass.com). Both of them offer beautiful handpulled 96 COE colors. For mostly compatible basic colors, Kalera has Uroboros that she sells by the rod. I don't see a variety pack, but you could pick your colors inexpensively that way. (bridgetownglass.com/)

Howaco has a sample pack of Uroboros of one rod per color. I bought this because I want to see which ones I like best and order accordingly. Check out their website. They are wonderful to deal with. I just recently discovered them.

Barb at Kuglar in Seattle, maybe Kent, WA. She has all kinds of samples of 96COE glass. I can't remember the name of the company, all my samples are over at the house in Spokane and I'm in Seattle. PM Janelle Zorko, she can give you the info.

Cheers, Larry

Thanks for the leads everyone! I forgot about Kalera - I always think of BE when I think of her. I will take a look at Jamilyn's site. I missed the sample packs of Reichenbach on OCR so will go look again. I don't know Kuglar in Seattle, but will check it out.
Best,
Julie

Thanks guys...I've been wondering about this too. I know Delphi right by me carries Uroborous, but no sample packs and I don't want to spend 500 bucks starting my collection of that glass.
One more thing for the x-mas list
