Easy
- Cut a length of monofilament and slowly melt near a flame to form a round blob at the end.
- Poke the other end into a pack of beads, pick one up and slide down to the melted end.
- Run on the tying thread at the hook eye and take down to the bend in touching turns.
- Tie in the monofilament on top of the shank with the bead against the hook bend, bind down up to the eye and remove the waste end.
- Remove the fluff from the base of a partridge feather and snip out the tip to form a V.
- Tie in with the fibres on either side of the bead and remove the waste.
- Separate the yarn into two strands, tie in one against the legs and wind up to the hook eye.
- Tie in the yarn, remove the waste, whip finish and varnish the thread turns.
