Veevus Iridescent Thread
Veevus Iridescent Thread is an iridescent tinsel for forming fly bodies, especially on nymphs and streamers. It creates a distinct reflective surface that can serve as the complete body finish or as a base for additional tying details. The product name identifies the iridescent effect, but does not establish a particular composition or construction, so it is best described as a spooled tinsel for fly tying. During use, keep the material under controlled tension so the wraps lie evenly without unwanted gaps. Once the body is complete, cut the free section with sharp scissors and leave a short tag where needed for a secure tie-off.
Construction and use
The iridescent surface is useful when a body needs visible reflection and stronger visual definition. It can be wrapped from the rear of the body toward the head or used as a finishing element in both simple and more detailed patterns. Its proven role is body construction rather than weighting or reinforcement.
