Fulling Mill Super Suede Chenille - Olive

It is primarily used for fly tying, specifically for creating the bodies of various fish-imitating flies like worms, nymphs, and emergers.

'Micro' refers to the 1.0mm diameter of the chenille, making it suitable for smaller, more delicate fly patterns.

While primarily designed for freshwater patterns, its durability and texture could be adapted for some simpler saltwater baitfish imitations, though specific saltwater materials are often preferred.

The number of flies varies greatly depending on the size of the fly and the body style. A typical nymph or worm pattern might use 1-3 inches of chenille per fly, allowing for dozens of flies per pack.

Olive is a very versatile color that imitates many natural insects. It's effective in a wide range of water conditions, from clear to stained.

The recommended method is to briefly expose the end of the chenille to a lighter flame. This melts and shrinks the fibers, creating a smooth taper. Always practice this technique on a scrap piece first.

This guide specifically covers the Olive Micro variant. Other colors may be available in different sizes or product lines from Fulling Mill.

Use a very sharp pair of fly-tying scissors. For a cleaner cut, especially on the micro size, consider lightly heating the scissors.

Use a very brief, controlled flame. Hold the lighter a safe distance away and apply heat intermittently. Practice on scrap material to find the right technique.

Ensure the chenille is securely tied in with tight thread wraps at the beginning. Keep consistent tension as you wrap the body.
