Uni French Embossed Tinsel
Uni French Emb is flat metallic French tinsel, pressed flat for building bodies and wraps. A delicate printed surface enhances its visual effect, while the varnished finish helps preserve the colour and shine and prevents tarnishing. The tinsel has a strong core, making it suitable for everyday functional patterns such as Muddler Minnow as well as classic full dressed flies, including Dunkeld. When wrapping, guide it evenly and avoid crushing the edges with excessive pressure. This makes it easier to produce clean segments and reduces the chance of creasing the flat surface.
Construction and use
Uni French Emb is a metallic French tinsel, distinct from thread and rounded wire through its flat profile and strong core. It can cover a body, form a wrap, or provide a pronounced decorative element in more elaborate constructions. The material is best suited to tying that calls for even placement and a durable metallic finish.
