FAQs

What is the diameter of the 'Small' size chenille?

The 'Small' size of the Fulling Mill Super Suede Chenille has a diameter of 1.5mm.

How long is each pack of chenille?

Each pack contains 5 meters of yarn.

Can I use this chenille for dry flies?

While primarily used for nymphs and worms, it can be used to create the body of certain dry flies or emergers, especially if a more robust body is desired.

How do I achieve the tapering effect?

To taper, hold the end of the chenille with pliers and quickly pass a lighter flame close to the tip. This will melt and condense the fibers, creating a tapered point.

What are the recommended flies for this chenille?

It is perfect for San Juan Worms, Greeny Weenies, Palomino style flies, and can be used for extended bodies on various patterns.

How many colors are available in the Super Suede Chenille range?

There are 20 colors available in the Fulling Mill Super Suede Chenille range.

Troubleshooting

Chenille is difficult to taper

Ensure you are using a quick, light pass of the flame. Practice on a scrap piece first. Too much heat will melt or burn the material.

Chenille seems too bulky for the intended fly

Use a thinner diameter if available, or compress the chenille slightly as you wrap it around the hook shank. Ensure your hook size is appropriate for the material.

Tapered end unravels

Secure the end firmly with tying thread. A small amount of super glue or head cement can also help fix the tapered end in place.
