Fulling Mill Ultra Dry Yarn
So after using this stuff for a while now, I honestly feel like this synthetic mimics the coarseness and random and control effects that snowshoe rabbit's foot achieves so well. They both look very similar on wings and para posts. The FM Ultra Dry Yarn also compacts easily and works great down to a #20 hook, which is very surprising to me. The image below is a para ant #18 hook using a doubled-up single strand of this yarn. The effect is quite impressionistic, and honestly, I showed this image to a friend, and he thought it was natural snowshoe rabbit's foot from the heel. This is probably the best synthetic I have come across for micropatterns, which is very surprising to me. ~Clint B.
