I cannot seem to get this collar right. I don't have a problem making the loop, or getting the hair into the loop, or spinning the loop. The problem occurs when I try to wrap it onto the shank. It seems to just go everywhere and no matter what I can't seem to get control of the hair.

I know the squirrel hair is slippery. I also haven't made a collar like this cutting the hair so close on one side of the loop.

Can anyone give me some advise?

Here is a link to the fly I am trying to get the collar on.
