Wapsi Icelandic Streamer Hair

Wapsi Icelandic Streamer Hair is long, loose Icelandic sheep hair selected for flowing streamer wings and larger fly profiles. The fibres form a soft, mobile structure that can be used on its own or combined with other wing materials.

Construction and use

Before tying, separate a small bundle with your fingers and remove tangled or excessively short fibres. Align the tips only as much as the pattern requires, retaining the available length for a fuller profile. Place the bundle on the hook shank, secure the butts with a few loose wraps, and then lock them down with additional turns of thread. Trim the excess butts and cover the cut ends with thread.

• Material: long hair from natural Icelandic sheep wool.
• Form: loose fibres selected into bundles for the pattern.
• Uses: flowing streamer wings and larger fly profiles.
• Technique: finger selection, controlled butt tie-in and a thread-covered base.
