This guide is for fly tiers seeking a durable and versatile chenille for creating a variety of fly patterns. The key benefit is its high-quality suede texture and density, allowing for realistic bodies and streamers. A potential caveat is the need for careful tapering for certain applications. Fulling Mill Super Suede Chenille is a premium fly-tying material known for its dense, suede-like texture and vibrant color range, available in 1mm and 1.5mm diameters, with 5 meters of yarn per pack.

It's primarily used for fly tying, creating realistic bodies for nymphs, worms, and streamers. Its dense, suede texture is ideal for imitating natural prey.
The 1mm size, often called Micro, is for smaller flies and more delicate patterns. The 1.5mm size is for larger flies and streamers that require a more substantial body.
Yes, you can taper the end of the chenille by briefly flashing it with a lighter flame. This is useful for creating worm-like shapes or specific body contours.
Each pack contains 5 meters of yarn.
The Super Suede Chenille is available in a wide range of 20 colors, including options like Black, Olive, White, Chartreuse, Blood Red, and Tan.
While versatile, the suede texture can absorb water. For saltwater applications, consider patterns where a slightly heavier fly is beneficial or ensure proper drying between uses.
Use a sharp pair of scissors. For a clean cut and to prevent fraying, you can briefly melt the ends of the chenille with a lighter flame after cutting.
Use the 1mm (Micro) diameter chenille or slightly reduce the amount of chenille used. Ensure it's wrapped evenly and not overcrowded.
Ensure the chenille is not being over-wrapped or compressed too tightly. The suede texture can sometimes appear slightly muted when tightly packed. Try teasing the fibers slightly after wrapping.
Setup:
This product is a material for fly tying, not a finished product requiring setup. Simply cut the desired length of chenille from the spool.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all standard fly-tying vises and tools. It can be combined with other fly-tying materials such as threads, dubbings, and feathers.
Care:
Store the chenille in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and texture. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. To clean finished flies tied with this material, gently rinse under cool water and allow them to air dry completely.
