Boa/Eyelash Yarn

[phishtales]

After rereading some of Rick Ziegler's panfish articles this winter, I decided to tie up some boa leeches. Couldn't find any boa yarn in the flyshops, so I headed to the craft store. I now have a lifetime supply of yarn and no good place to store it. I thought some other fly tyers might want to try to tie boa leeches, but don't want to buy the material in bulk or don't have easy access to a craft shop.

I'm selling 15 packages of eyelash yarn. Each package contains one 4 yard sample of each of the 7 eyelash yarns listed below (total of 28 yards of material).

I'd like $7 cash per package. I'll pay shipping and handling (CONUS).

Here's what I've got.
4 colors of Yarn Barn Elvish Eyelash yarn - lash is 1/2 inch long
Black (licorice), yellow (marigold), white (sugar), and mottled purple (raisin)

3 colors of Yarn Barn Gilt Eyelash - lash is 1 inch long
Black with black flash (deepnight), white with gold flash (sunspark), and
black with gold flash (nightfire)
The gilt eyelash yarn looks more like the funfur rather than the eyelash or boa yarn. The lash is a combination of thread and tinsel/flash.

I've cut each of the 7 eyelash yarns into 4 yard strips. I've placed each 4 yard strip in a small ziplock bag and labeled the contents. I've wrapped the elvish yarn around notecards to keep the lash flat. For $7, you get 7 bags of eyelash yarn delivered to your door.

PM me if you are interested or have questions. I check this BB usually once or twice a day during the week.

P)hish, can you give us a link to the fly you are tying? Might be interested but want to see the fly first. Thanks!

Ron,

I used the patterns for a boa leech in the FOTW.

Also, Jeffnles (on this board) has been blogging this winter about flies he's tying. Next week he says he's talking about the boa leech.

Here's the link. http://kyflyfishguy.blogspot.com/201...pers.html#more

I still have a couple of packages of the yarn left. Asking $7 for 7 packages (4 yards each) of eyelash or boa yarn. I'll pay shipping and handling.

In the warm water forum, Jeffnles1 has a link to his blog. This week he tied some boa leeches (leaches?). You can check out his pictures of the fly.
