FAQs

What are the main uses for Fulling Mill Super Suede Chenille?

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.

What is the difference between the 1mm and 1.5mm sizes?

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.

Can I taper this chenille?

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.

How long is the chenille in each pack?

Each pack contains 5 meters of yarn.

What colors are available?

The Super Suede Chenille is available in a wide range of 20 colors, including options like Black, Olive, White, Chartreuse, Blood Red, and Tan.

Is this material suitable for saltwater flies?

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.

Troubleshooting

Chenille frays excessively when cut

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.

Body appears too bulky for the hook size

Use the 1mm (Micro) diameter chenille or slightly reduce the amount of chenille used. Ensure it's wrapped evenly and not overcrowded.

Color seems less vibrant after tying

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and dense material that holds its shape well.
  • Excellent color saturation and retention.
  • Versatile for various fly patterns, from small nymphs to larger streamers.
  • Easy to work with for both beginners and experienced tiers.
  • Tapering allows for detailed and realistic fly designs.

Cons

  • May require practice to achieve perfect tapering.
  • Thicker diameter might be too bulky for very small or delicate flies.
  • Suede texture can absorb water, potentially making flies sink faster.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid premature fraying during tying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
