Default Right material for Apps

I want to up my collection of worms this winter having done well with red.

Where can I get the best leg material. I have plenty of colours in the rather curly/floppy floss, bought for buzzers but I know I need the straighter stuff ?

Also what is the best exact spec for beads ?

Charlie

You can straigten it out with hair tongs.

For red beads I use gutermann Col 4500.
Olive 8535
Light orange/amber 3545
Pink 4942/5865

I'm not worried about the beads but appreciate the exact colour and size numbers.

It's the right floss that takes some finding......................

Another vote for wcbflyttying on here for the best floss. Right 'consistency' and nice colours
