Guest rich mc Report post Posted January 2, 2018 would 5 knubs be enough per tyer?. if we have 10 including me , send in 50 knubs and tyers will get back 10 new colors of 5 each. participants could also just send them in an envelope and put a stamp in with the material[i have plenty of envelopes] no toetags needed either i will do a color that nobody has . rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng2 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 I'm in Rich. It would be helpful to list what colors exist for those who may not know. Their are also two size diameters, standard (1/4") and small (1/8"). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flat Rock native 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 Gen question? Would it be best to leave the strands " on the hide?" Quite a bit more work for everyone, I presume? I may have some poor nubs or brand, but some, once clipped, seem to unravel to the point of fluff, when handled less roughly than a postal sorter....

Guest rich mc Report post Posted January 2, 2018 most knubs can be loose but if you feel better of leaving them on the backing just do it. rich Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 Sorry, I am not in on the swap, just replying to FRn's comment on leaving the nubs on the fabric backing. On mine, if I am cutting several off, I use a lighter an melt the cut end just a touch. Keeps the nub from unraveling forever and can be cut off when tying. The melt point can also be pulled into a thin, flat fiber if one wishes ... allows for a tie in point without all the fluff bulking up the tie in.

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2018 If you want 1" bright yellow in your swap I'm in with a letter sized envelope full (glows a little in uv, not a lot); if not no hard feelings. Re postage, when I sent some to fshng2 that way the post office wanted $3 for a package rate, but I sent with 70 cent stamp and it made it to him.
