Au Ver a Soie Ephemera Silk

is also ideal for wrapping snake and agate guides on bamboo and fiberglass rods which will give the perfect finish. Easy to use, it is undoubtedly the most versatile pure silk on the market today.

These are pure silk threads manufactured in France by the historical embroidery company Au Ver A Soie which has been producing fine silk threads since 1820. To ensure uniformity and great colour saturation, Ephemera Pure Silks are dyed in floats (full hanks), the extremely high quality artisan production process guarantee a perfect uniformity of colours.

As with Pearsall Gossamer Fly Tying Silk, this material will benefit from waxing which helps preserve your flies (stops them rotting as silk is a natural material). Whilst they are not an exact copy of the original Pearsall Gossamer Fly Tying Silk colours, they are however very close to the familiar shades we have enjoyed in the past. Popular examples include the "Golden Yellow” very close to the original No.4, "Orange” ideal for a Partridge & Orange – or try the "Burnt Orange” in place of the old No. 19 – Pearsall Hot Orange.

Ephemera Pure Fly Tying Silk comes on beautiful wooden spools with a centre drilled hole of which you will find they fit a normal sized bobbin holder. Each spool comes with a very generous 100 metes of Silk, a true three strand twist in strength.
