Does the yarn become translucent when wet? I like the look of it dry, but I’ll bet it looks even better in water with a few captured air bubbles.

However, Moes are now in CITES, so that may be the last of that yarn you see.

That would work swimmingly with this yarn as well due to the looseness of weave.

The volume of colors available on a single skein makes this material a real boon. You could use the same skein for literally hundreds of different flies.

i’ve been using mohair yarn for many years on some of the patterns that i tie. i simply pull off wisps of the yarn fibers and dub it to the thread
