    I found some large at a hobby store about 8 years ago. How it relates to our suppliers sizing, I have no clue.1/4 and 3/8 jigs look good with one wrap.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around

    most of the eyelash is 1/2 or3/4 long.so wrapping it around the shank will be an inch to 1.5 inches in diameter so trimming like a deerhair bug is necessary. i often use two strands to make a thicker body and mix colors best ive found is yarn bee snuggle up yarn at hobby lobby and the fauxfur yarn [just like a rabbit strip] . use martha stewart gilt eyelash for flash. snuggle up yarn can also be furled to make a longer tail.

    There are advantages to using both sizes. The large will allow you to wrap one time on those 3/8 or 1/2 jigs. If you want a tapered look then use the medium size. Would be happy to answer any questions about the large chenille.
