fishinguy 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2018 I have extra select and a few patches from the craft store(Brown, black, white). The craft store stuff is perfectly fine if your tying flies about 2"and under. Easier to find better colors in the extra select from the fly shop though.

sandflyx 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2018 clothes dye will wash out. because of the properties of craft fur you are not really dyeing but coloring the outside as dyes will not absorb. I made my own dyes for this purpose (trade secret) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandflyx 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2018 I incorporate the craft fur with my Lasher material to make articulated flies with no wire/braid/mono/etc. swims like a real fish. I dye my own materials (eyelash) for the back half of fly. also a synthetic that I made a dye for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted February 9, 2018 Not sure what Lasher is.... The gliiter craft fur I've seen doesn't have but one flash filament in about 4"square. Amazing to me how this stuff is artificially made.... long strands (guard hairs) and some "fur" underneath. Coloring with sharpie on limited basis and gotta use bodkin to seperate some fusing from the "ink". Easy enough to incorporate other flashes for sure.

sandflyx 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2018 sometimes being a dealer has its advantages. lasher is what I call a type of eyelash yarn. as for the craft fur it has a lot of flash in it and some goes longer than 4" most craft fur is sewn in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
