Textreme Glitter Thread (230 Den.)
Textreme Glitter Thread (230 Den.) is an iridescent yarn intended to give an artificial fly changing colour effects and light reflections. It can be used for chironomid bodies, small spinners and very thin ribbings. The product is recommended for building bodies on small hooks in sizes #14–#24. It is suited to slim pattern elements where colour and reflective effect are part of the fly’s appearance rather than a thick layer intended to add bulk. When wrapping it, apply even tension and place the turns next to one another to keep the visual effect regular along the body.
