Orvis sculpin wool
« on: 17/07/2017 at 12:40 »
when i was down in kelso i visited the orvis shop and they had some sculpin wool, so i thought why not give it a go. At only £2.50 its great value for making fly 'heads'

i went for olive and i plan to mix in different colour of 'sparkle'

Alternatively, you can buy "Felting wool" in knitting and craft shops  cheaper and in hundreds of different colours ;) The Orvis stuff is good though, but limited in colours.
