Default Flashabou

Has anybody any suggestions how to stop this stuff behaving as if it was in zero gravity and distributing itself about the house?
The memsahib is remakably patient about my fly tying, even to finding a size 4 pike hook on her chair. However from various dark mutterings and ostentatious use of the vacuum, I reckon I've pushed my luck.
I did point out that it was the Xmas season and tinsel is in order but the only response that I got was that if that was the case, I could get up into the attic and get the decorations down. Anything to put off that dreadful day.

It's a matter of storage & static. When you use it, ensure you only cut away exactly what you need & then whilst using it make sure that ALL the fibres are wet during the tying operation.

Static will cause it to behave in all sorts of unseemly ways, so try to avoid anything that encourages static anywhere near it.

I guess I'd better start tying in the bathroom. Thanks for the tip.
