Fly Tying Yarn
Fly tying yarn is a versatile synthetic material used to create fly bodies, wings, parachute posts, strike indicators, egg patterns, and various bulky elements. Available in different fibres, textures, and buoyancies, yarn has become an essential material for both traditional and modern fly patterns.
