FAQs

What is the diameter of the 'Small' size Super Suede Chenille?

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

How do I taper the chenille for worm patterns?

To taper, carefully use a lighter to briefly singe the end of the chenille. This melts the fibers, allowing you to form a fine point.

What types of flies is this chenille best suited for?

It is excellent for patterns like San Juan Worms, Greeny Weenies, Palomino-style flies, and any nymph or emerger where a segmented body is desired.

How long is the chenille in each pack?

Each pack contains 5 meters of Super Suede Chenille yarn.

Can I use this chenille for saltwater flies?

While primarily used for freshwater patterns, the smaller diameter might be suitable for some smaller saltwater baitfish imitations. However, it is best suited for freshwater applications.

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 frays excessively when cut.

Use a very sharp pair of fly tying scissors for a clean cut. For tapering, a quick, controlled pass with a lighter is more effective than cutting.

Tapered end burns away too much.

Use a brief, quick pass of the lighter flame. Practice on a scrap piece first to get the feel for the heat and melting point of the chenille.

Color appears different than expected.

Colors can vary slightly due to monitor settings. Refer to the product images and descriptions. Different lighting conditions underwater can also affect perceived color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: No setup is required for the Super Suede Chenille itself. It is ready to be cut and tied onto fly hooks. When creating tapered bodies, use a lighter to carefully singe the end of the chenille to a fine point. Ensure to do this in a well-ventilated area and keep the flame brief to avoid burning the material excessively.

Compatibility: This chenille is compatible with all standard fly tying vises and hooks. It can be combined with other fly tying materials such as thread, wire, and dubbing to create intricate patterns.

Care: Store the chenille in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its color vibrancy and material integrity. Keep it away from open flames or high heat sources when not in use.
