Polar bear with chenille hackle collar

[Fatman]

After seeing the chenille hackle looked through my stuff and I actually had some

So I tied up some Polar bear with it as a hackle neck

That dog will hunt! I have a skien of black, yellow, and pink boa yarn... makes great simple flies.

 

[Fatman]

Where'd you pick the boa yarn up???

Nice tyes Doug. I have some skiens of 4or5 colors and at times over the summer a silver jig tied with the hackle chenille has saved the day. I got my yarn at Hobby Lobby. They don't have it all the time.

Thanks Stump. I'll have to check at JoAnne's or if we go shopping in New Hampshire I know there's a Michaels there

 

[quivira kid]

Wal-Mart and Hobby Lobby I think. You need some?

 

[Fatman]

That would be great if you have some to spare. I'l send you a PM

Nice ties FM.

The tyer's chenille hackle looks just like eyelash yarn to me. If you want to find some sparkling eyelash yarn, then I suggest Michaels and look for Martha Stewart Crafts Glitter Eyelash. They carry Bernat Boa yarn too which is great for tying worms and other extended bodied jigs/flies. It's very similar to your white/silver pictured in your first photo.

BTW, I bought skeins of both of those yarns while on sale there last week.

And...don't forget to visit Michaels web site to print off the weekly 40% off coupon that is good for any one regularly-priced item if you decide to go.

Thanks Pup but I'd have to go to New Hampshire to hit Michaels. Do have a JoAnne's fabrics and AC Moore - I'll have to check their website and see if they carry it. Thanks for the info.
