Spirit River All Around Mohair Leech Yarn

Spirit River All Around Mohair Leech Yarn is a soft, hairy yarn for constructing leech and streamer bodies. Wound on the shank, it creates a supple body with a less uniform, mobile surface formed by the loose fibres. The material is part of the All Around dispenser range, which holds six spools and allows a working section to be measured without unwinding the whole supply.

Construction and use

Tie the yarn along the shank and wind it as a continuous body, or place it in a dubbing loop when a more open distribution of fibres is wanted. Control the tension while winding and sweep the fibres rearward, especially where turns meet. The finished profile can be adjusted through turn count and light trimming of stray fibres. Secure the final section with thread and shape the front of the body into a taper when the pattern requires one.

• Form: soft, hairy yarn for winding or use in a dubbing loop.
• Profile: builds a supple body whose density is controlled by turn count.
• Technique: maintain tension and sweep fibres back before adjoining turns.
• Uses: leech bodies, streamer bodies and flies with a hairy silhouette.
