Woven bodies...

Good call with the wings. Didn't think about that.

 

[LouM]

I usually just pull off 1 or 2 lengths from the hank, depends on the size of the fly, and use it that way. No need to rewind or wrap it onto anything.

Lou,
That is the way I'm currently doing it, but I heard some discussions about wrapping the embroidery floss around a spool so you can use a bobbin and keep better tension on the material.

LouM that stone fly is exactly what i meant by combining materials , swannundaze and yarn or ostrich herl? BEAUTIFUL MAN.

[sholgate]

Just started weaving flies. The contrasting colors do seem to trigger a take. This is only my 10th try this week.
