Discover Our Selection of Chenille Yarn
Chenille yarn is a popular fly tying material known for its soft texture and vibrant colors. The word “chenille” comes from the French word for caterpillar, and the material is named for the fuzzy texture that it shares with the insect. Chenille yarn is a cotton or wool thread that is twisted and cut to create a soft, fuzzy texture. The fuzzy texture of chenille yarn is perfect for imitating the soft bodies of insects like caterpillars and caddis flies.
Chenille yarn is easy to work with and is commonly used to tie streamers and nymphs. It is especially effective when used to tie caddis fly imitations. The fuzzy texture of chenille yarn helps to create a caddis fly imitation that is almost identical to the natural insect. Chenille yarn is available in a wide range of colours, allowing you to easily match the natural colors of insects.
