Was in Wall Mart today. Found small Palmer chenille.
It is a Red Heart product, called "scrubby sparkle.:
$3.89/ 174 yard skein.
Got white and yellow, left green and pink.
Palmered on a hook with bead chain eyes is a nice minnow pattern.

Rick,

Good find; I can see Schminnows in my future.

Regards,
Scott

Have been tying with this the last few days.
Cut about 16 inches off and stretch it out for abut 15 seconds.
Also look for the slight slant of the fiber sticking out.
Makes palmering it much easier.

Looks like it’s available at JoAnn’s, probably Michael’s and Hobby Lobby as well, of course Amazon
.

Yes, JoAnn’s has it. I needed some small pink Chenille for some Pink Squirrel nymphs the other day and bought a ball that had pink, orange and white in it. I think it was $3.49. More than I’ll ever need.
