Chuck,
Do what works for you. I wrap clockwise because I tie off that way too.
I find if I wrap counter clockwise and tie off clockwise the thread
pulls the material the opposite way loosening it at the tie in point.

Folks: I finally got me some small hackle, and am having trouble with
it a little... My question is this..I tie right handed,and Say, on a
woolly bugger, I would wrap the thread clockwise as the hook eye
points towards me in the vise.. Then, I WAS wrapping chenille and
hackle in that SAME direction.. But all night it wanted to come
unraveled.. So, I wound the thread clockwise, and then the chenille
and hackle counterclockwise, so, that when I went to tie it off, the
thread would cross over the hackle and/or chenille and seem to hold
better.. Is there anything Wrong with doing it this way???? My DVD's
and Books show them all doing it the same way I was doing it, in the
same clockwise direction.. Or is this one of those "Whatever works for
you is the right way"???? Thanks in advance, Chuck
