Textreme Polyfloss (280 Den.)
Textreme Polyfloss (280 Den.) is a texturized yarn for creating smooth, uniform bodies on dry flies and nymphs. Its stated brilliance gives the finished body a distinct appearance, while the construction makes it easy to guide the material in regular turns. The 280 Den. version is intended for larger applications than the Small 140 Den. version; the count is a material specification, not a hook-size designation or a finished pattern size. Polyfloss can also be used for coloured ribbing, either on its own or together with other yarns. It is available in a range of 40 colours, including natural and fluorescent options. Keep steady tension and avoid overlapping turns so the body remains even and the surface stays clean.
Construction and use
This texturized yarn is designed for quickly forming a consistent body. Use it as the primary body material, as a contrasting segmenting element, or in combination with another yarn when a multicoloured ribbed body is required. Select the 280 Den. count according to the body volume called for by the pattern.
