been tying both flies and jigs with the new pixie dust yarn from premier yarn. 93% polyester and the rest lurex which is a sparkle. its thinner than the medium chenille but ties easy. once i order the light blue i can add it to the white for a monkey milk hybrid . rich in frozen northern ill
Sounds awesome. Looking forward to seeing the finished product
Yarn sounds nice, cant wait to see them dun. I feel your pain. Down here in QC area at zero and 20 mph wind.
hey grumpy im right outside shabbona. 2 kids went to st ambrose
Good school and congrats for the kids. Just 3 months till we are back out there on water, not ice.
Just had the wife make a run to AC Moore. They are closing the store here, and have a store-wide 25% off. She got me 1 each of the 10 colors they had in stock of the pixie dust. She also picked up about 6 other skeins of metaliac flake yarn from another mfg. I'm set to tie some jigs or crochet some hats.

Good looking jigs
Look good to me slowhand!!!!
Hmmm, I didn't see the Sky Blue, lol?
What size head is that your using so we can get an idea of what size that yarn is? I should probably say that body looks really fat is why I am asking about size.

1/16 ball head. My wife said the same thing, but she can see the blue near the head in person.

you can get it online from premier yarns
Rich asked if I could tye one with white on the back and sky blue on the front...well maybe?
1st jig is on bottom 1/2 and 1/2 is on top.
Skip asked about size so here are both yarns against a rule.
Tried to get it where light wasn't too harsh and wipe out the color detail.Attachment 364760Attachment 364761
