Partridge tri-colour spider

[wingman]

I've just been messing about useing different colours of pearsall's thread to see what various colour combinations look like useing a similar technique as used on the dark watchett spider. This one being one of the results useing scarlet, hot orange and purple thread and all very vivid colours so trouty won't miss it or he might scarper from the nearest rock from sheer bewilderment.

Thanks for looking and all comments welcome

cheers

Quite simple Dabhoy, just tie the threads in all at the same time near the eye and wrap down to end of body then pull them tight and all I do is put them all in the hackle pliers and wind keeping threads tight...simples

I think the body (abdomen) is brill, but.... the hackle, less blatant..more subtle...dyed one of the colours in the body.....you asked!
