“Eggstacy” – Egg Chenille

Description From Fly Box of Perth, Scotland comes  “Eggstacy”. Eggstasy is a revolutionary new product for tying egg-flies. Unlike standard egg-yarn, which involves spinning yarn, Eggstasy is build on a core which means you can simply tie it like a chenille. The other huge difference that sets Eggstasy apart from other yarns is the fibre itself. Eggstasy is the first material to be made from new ‘Next Generation’ (NX-Gen Fibre). This material is a game-changer synthetic. NX-Gen Fibres are micro thin and are designed to trap water forming an almost slush-like texture when wet, almost like a sponge. The fibres themselves are also translucent which allows light to travel through the egg/blob – unlike standard egg yarn. NX-Gen Fibre has great movement, unlike egg yarn which remains static. In the water the egg looks almost life-like. Please note that the images show each colour in its wet, slush-state –  there is a 30% colour change when wet,  so please do not be concerned about the colour in the packet – put it in water and see the colour come alive! Each pack contains at least 3 metres of material – enough to create literally dozens of patterns.
