pokerfish Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I was looking for a replacement for snowshoe hare foot, and wondered if raw wool might do it (for some dry caddis patterns). If you are tying with it, how is it used. I have a couple of clumps from a farming friend, but it is uncarded. Looks like it may have potential. Looking for some help, so I dont have to climb the learning curve alone. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Tied with wool in the past, its great for dubbed bodies and sheds water well. Never tried it for a wing material like you would use snowshoe hare foot for but I imagine you could just pull it out a few times to align the fibers and tie a clump in for a wing. I do love snowshoe for wing material and makes nice emergers also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flytyer Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Wonder if it could used in much the same ways as llama or alpaca? If so you'll have a great new material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
