Danville Antron Yarn

Danville Antron Yarn is a multi-fiber, shiny yarn for constructing several different parts of a fly. Its visible surface gives a tied section a distinct appearance, which is why it is commonly used for parachute wings. It can also be wrapped as a body material or used to imitate exuvia. Work with the yarn in its full form when a more substantial element is needed, or arrange it to match the volume and outline of the pattern. At the vise it can serve as a wound body material or as a separated wing component. Keep the tension and wrap spacing under control: loose handling can spread the fibers and make a clean shape harder to achieve. Secure the end carefully at the tie-in point, since the multi-fiber construction can open up if it is left poorly controlled.

Construction and use

This is a yarn made from multiple fibers, intended for visible, shiny fly sections. It combines a body-building role with the ability to form wings and exuvia imitations, giving one material several established tying applications.

• Type: multi-fiber, shiny yarn
• Wing use: especially suitable for parachute wings
• Other uses: fly bodies and exuvia imitations
• Handling tip: control tension, wrap spacing and the tie-in point
