OK, this stuff really seems to lend itself readily to loop wings. I knocked up this  LDO loop wing dun in a few minutes with it

And a dirty poly style olive emerger using the same loop wing technique. This is dead easy to do and makes quite a neat fly.

That stuff looks very interesting. i have loads of snowshoe hare and loads of various other yarns (Aero, Parapost,McFlylon etc.) but none of them apart from cdc are very good for loopwings and that is something I need to tie more of.

Looks like a trip  to Asda is in order.

Loop wing.Never thought about that looks good Fred.Straight cut wings seem ok too.I have been combing the wing out first with a nit comb before i chop the wing.Looks as if there is a run on pillows starting. :D :D
