I really like the translucence and movement of floss tails and veils. But a trick someone showed me is to use saliva to clean it when it gets crudded up with fish slime. Enzymes help break it down.
We could use red thread as well, however I was showing a technique that works well with classic patterns where we don't want any bleed through with the thread underneath. This isn't a big problem with this pattern but it can be with others.
Beautifully done!

A trick I got from a fly tieng book is make a j in the wire so it does not pull out of the body
Hi Peter, is there a reason you color the thread red instead of just using red thread to start with?

White thread will make the colours of your dubbed, floss and pearl-braid bodies just a tad more vivid when they're wet.
