This product has cross fibres that need to be removed prior to tying in. These cross fibres create a wave or sparkle in the trilobal fibres during heat treatment in the production stage.

Each package contains instructions, which are also available as a text and pictures below. First cut your desired length for your fly pattern and trim one edge. If you want a taper when you wind, you will want to cut it at this time. Cut in about 1 cm against the lower edge. This will give you a tie in stem and help you grip it firmly as you tease out the cross fibres.

Remove the fibres from your 1 cm cut to expose the cross fibres. You will want to do this on both ends. Tease away a few of the cross fibres at a time until you are left with the stem and sparkle fibres. The last few cross fibres can be removed wiht the help of your dubbing needle. Once all cross fibres are removed you can tie it in and wind away.

Available in two sizes. Smaller size fibres are about 1,3 cm (1/2 inches) long and in bigger size about 3,8 cm (1 1/2 inches).

Package contains about 3,6 metres (4 yards) of hackle.
