Description

This is NOT the original Sparkle Yarn as used by Oliver Edwards but is a very close substitute for tying the Edwards Rhyacophila larva pattern, as featured in the 2nd. edition of his Flytying Masterclass book recently released.

I tied a Rhyac’ Larva with this yarn and presented to Oliver Edwards at the British Fly Fair a couple of years ago for his comments – he initially believed that the fly had been tied by himself!

This is a two ply synthetic yarn that shreds to enable you to obtain a taper when tying the material in at the hook bend, and when tying off at the eye of the hook.

It is predominately an apple green in colour which a few flecks of lighter green and yellow giving it a more natural look than plain green.

The yarn will take an olive permanent marker to give a darker colour to the upper surface of the finished fly.

Supplied in lengths of 3 yards, enough for dozens of patterns.
