    Alan,
    Ever use Dazzleaire? That is the antron yarn I am referring to.

    Did a bit of looking into the issue.

    APPARENTLY, there are many core materials in "yarn". The information I have found suggests that if the core material in the "yarn" is cotton, it will absorb water. So, I guess one should recommend "non-cotton-based" yarn for a dry fly's wing.
