I've been using this for years..easy to furl on your rotary vise. You just tie in, at the point you want to use it, as many strands as you want in colors you want, then hang your bobbin and spin the vise. It will furl into a nice rib or body and you can wind it on. No need for special equipment or anything. If you don't tie rotary, you can do the same thing just as you do a thread loop. It is wonderfully strong. Only drawback is that it is a bit pricey, so wait for the Jo'Anns coupon when it is 40% off, and buy it then. I think the cost is about $4.00 without a coupon. It makes wonderful ribs non-furled on midges and size 18-22 flies. Also look in the thread section of your favorite sewing store for poly embroidery thread, on a spool. It is wonderfully shiny and can be used as a single thread or furled. Watch out though, as they also have rayon, also shiny but remember, rayon looses it's strength when it gets wet so is not suitable for flies. Joyce
Check out Norm's rotary video on his flytying site at www. http://www.nor-vise.com for a demo as he furls a single strand of mylar.
