Subject: Twisting dubbing and herl etc.COUNTER CLOCKWISE ?
In Twisting dubbing and herl around the thread ,for a right hand tier
,twist the material in a counter clockwise direction as when winding the
material on a hook with each turn will tighten the material on the
thread.. If you go clockwise for a right hander tier it will only loosen
more with each wrap around the hook. For left handed tiers, where your
vise is facing to the left ,wing clockwise around the thread. Allot of
other methods such as the loop method and many others ,can also use this
same principle.Now don't get your fingers caught in the whip finish
now..Take care.

Chuck,
If you do not trust the security of the herl, and your whip finish, I
offer you two suggestions for a workaround:
1. twist thread and herl into rope, either the working thread, or the
thread tag end, then wrap the herl thorax.
2. dub the herl flue directly onto the thread, as if it were dubbing.
I do this all the time on tiny flies which have peacock herl in the
dressing.
Cheers,
Hans
