This guide is for fly tyers looking for a high-quality, versatile chenille. Its key benefit is its dense texture and ability to be shaped for various fly patterns. A potential caveat is that its small diameter might require careful handling for larger flies. Fulling Mill Super Suede Chenille is crafted from dense suede, offering excellent body and durability. It is available in 20 colors and two sizes, 1mm and 1.5mm, with the Small size featuring a 1.5mm diameter. This chenille can be tapered using a lighter flame, making it ideal for extended bodies or worm patterns, and is perfect for creating popular flies such as San Juan Worms, Greeny Weenies, and Palomino style flies. Each pack contains 5 meters of yarn.

It's a versatile material for fly tying, particularly effective for creating the bodies of flies like San Juan Worms, Greeny Weenies, and Palomino style flies due to its dense texture.
Each pack contains 5 meters of chenille yarn.
Yes, you can taper the end of the chenille by flashing with a lighter flame if using it as an extended body or worm. This helps create a more streamlined or realistic shape.
The Super Suede Chenille is available in 1mm and 1.5mm diameters. The 'Small' variant, like the Olive color, comes in a 1.5mm diameter.
The Super Suede Chenille is available in a versatile range of 20 colors.
Yes, it's a good material for beginners due to its ease of use and effectiveness in popular patterns. The tapering technique may require some practice.
Use a sharp craft knife or scissors for clean cuts. For tapering, hold the flame very briefly and carefully to melt and seal the fibers.
Practice on a scrap piece first. Use a quick, sweeping motion with the lighter, rather than holding the flame in one spot. Ensure good ventilation.
Colors may vary slightly due to monitor settings and lighting conditions. Refer to product images and descriptions. The Olive color is a medium-dark green suitable for natural imitations.
Setup: This product is a fly tying material, not a finished item. To use, cut the desired length of chenille from the 5-meter spool. For creating tapered bodies, carefully use a lighter flame to singe and shape the ends of the chenille. Ensure a controlled, brief application of heat to avoid burning through the material.
Compatibility: The Fulling Mill Super Suede Chenille is compatible with standard fly tying vises and the materials commonly used in fly construction, such as hooks, thread, and epoxy or head cement.
Care: Store the chenille in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its color and texture. Keep it in its original packaging or a sealed container to prevent dust accumulation and keep it organized.
