I just got these samples in and need you guys to tell me which of these if any you would buy and maybe what color head and tail. These are some of the ones I ask about the other day. Now though we can see them.

Here is the chenille…
Top Left is Red with Green Crystal, Top Right is White with Silver, Middle is Fl Chart & Purple Crystal, Bottom Left is Black with Gold & Bottom Right is Fl Orange with Black Crystal.
I’ve used white/silver and black/gold. They both produce fish!
That Chartreuse/Purple is interesting…I can see fish jumping on that. I’ve always done well with Chartreuse/Pepper plastics on jigs when using spinning gear…
Hi,
Black and gold, and white and silver would be good. They both remind me of combo’s used for floss and tinsel ribbed bodies. The red and green makes me think of a Hardy’s Favorite (peacock herl ribbed with red) and that’s a very good fish producer, so red and green should be a good one. I’ve had good luck with an orange and black ribbed spider, so that combo should do well. And the green/purple combo just looks too fishy to pass up. So, I think you should get them all! Why limit yourself?
Skip,
They look great to me. The orange and black would make a great Halloween Woolly Bugger. Add a little black and orange Grizzly hackle and the same color in marabou; you have a great fall fly.

What’s the problem here??? Just buy them all…you will find a use for them.
It’s just 144 yards of each even for a guy like me that ties and sells crappie jigs, that a lot of chenille is only a few colors. I think I stock about 34 colors now.
So I don’t want to add that much of something I don’t need or should I say want, LOL!
Not to mention my wife is probably about to get a rope and hang me if I keep adding stuff to my stuff, LOL!

Now there’s a potentially memorable quote !

P. S. The chenille all
looks fine.
Hmmm,
Are there any local shops you could sell your excess to? If you cut it into 1 yard lengths, bind with an elasitic (no plastic bag = eviromentally friendly packaging), and call your company “Skip’s ropes”, then you could probably cover the cost of the whole purchase, and get your supply for free!
(Well, you could try and use that to justify adding more stuff to your stuff!) 
I tie with similar (probably not identical) material frequently and have had the most productivity with black and/or chartreuse. Olive and chocolate dressing will work with either of these, providing a good variety of naturally appearing colors. For saltwater gurglers and such the white is good.
Where do you get 144yd spools? I’d be interested.
I buy from Danville (they are the Mfg of most my chenille) direct. I do get some chenille they don’t make from others. It’s not on spools, but comes as 2 skeins of 72 yards each. To get their chenille on spools takes a larger order than I make and more chenille than I could ever use. I think you have to order 5 gross (144yards) per color to get it on spooks and pay an additional $1.50 per spool and no returns on spools.
If at some time you want to order with me I am open to that. Either you can take the entire 144 yards or if it’s something I want too we can split it.
PM me if interested and we can work it out.

(Skip Quote)…“Not to mention my wife is probably about to get a rope and hang me if I keep adding stuff to my stuff, LOL!”
I’m waiting for the headline, Lord of Chenille, that’s going to read…
"Local Hemphill man, found dangling from garage rafters… wife questioned, then released, not charged due to “Justifiable Homicide Ruling”.
Sheriff states that; “He’s never seen a prettier rope, than the one found around local man’s neck. It was sure pretty! Lots of colors and sparkle and it sure was SOFT! I, bet, you could even make fish’in lures from it!”
