I want to tie this fly ,which is featured in FF & FT February issue ,for their competition.The tag is " Silver twist ". Can anyone assist as to the proprietary name of this material and tell me where I can get some.

Silver Twist is only silver tinsel.. Or at least I think it is

Sunray,

Silver Twist is not just "silver tinsel" - it has a round profile - take a look here:

Did not see the article but I believe this to be the "as near" original dressing.
