Well, I've been turned on to a new material that I wasn't aware of, so it is time for a swap to see what everyone is doing with it. GQualls sent me a couple samples of this yarn, and it is really cool stuff. (For those of you who aren't familiar with this yarn, the warm water forum has a thread on boa yarn going: [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/Forum20/HTML/002134.html:70e1d]FAOL thread[/url:70e1d] ) It goes by a lot of different names, but the thread I just referenced has pictures of it. You are free to use any of the similar materials (funfur, eyelash yarn, boa yarn, bernat disco, etc). Just check the pictures on the thread I linked and use something similar.

I like the format the original punch yarn swap took, so I'm going to copy it to some extent. Everyone will include a 3 yard sample of their eyelash yarn and a fly tied with that yarn for each swapper.

I'm going to limit this one to 10 swappers including myself and signup is open until 05/15. All yarn samples and flies are due TO ME by 06/05.

Be sure to include your crushproof container, return packaging with your address on it, and return postage in the form of stamps or cash (no metered postage). Be sure to toetag your flies with your user name and pattern name at a minimum.
