Bruce Norikane 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2015 ... I tie in the chenille and make a loop about 6 to 8" long tie in the loop, like you are making a dubbing loop. Then twist the chenille tightly around itself. holding it loop tight as you do so. Then just draw a dark marker across the top of the chenille coloring just the top. Now untwist and unwrap the chenille. When you wrap this forward, you will have a variegated body. Fabulous tip! I have tons of sizes and colors of chenille, and now, I can add a variegated look to any of them. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2015 The color combinations are endless & as said they'll all work. I likely use black, olive, chartreuse, and white or some combination the most, and like Salmobytes I prefer some flash in mine. If you want a different varigated look & don't have the correct color marker or varigated chenille, you can twist two different color chenilles together. I usually buy the size 2 or medium chenille, but when I find the smaller size at a good price I'll buy some specifically for making varigated chenille bodies on buggers and of course it's good for tying smaller sizes.

Charlie1947 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2015 I like to add a little flash in silver, pink or chartreuse. Sometimes, I add pink, red or chartreuse in the body. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
