Let’s see, 17 yds x 36”/yd / (5”/fly} = 122 flys or so. A whole skein of yarn might make sense if you tie 100’s of flies at a time, share with others or have unlimited storage, but for a new tier, it might be overkill.

Keep in mind, unless you are tying a crap load of flies, a lot of the dubbing, skins, feathers, etc. will last a very long time. A 3” square patch of elk hair will tie over 200 elk hair Caddis flies, a packet of SLF squirrel dubbing will tie 300 size 18 to 14 nymphs, a clump of pheasant tail feathers will also tie a couple hundred PT nymphs, etc…hooks are probably the most expensive single consumable component followed by beads in tying trout or bass flies (not counting the exotics for salmon flies and the like.). Pick a fly pattern, buy those materials and become proficient at that fly. Then move to the next pattern. Pretty soon you will have a nice supply of materials you can use.

Just received some nice jigs in the mail, thanks for the great ties!

Nice!
