Description

Veniard Antron Yarn is made up of multi-trilobal filaments to form a single strand yarn with bright light-catching highlights. Veniard Antron Yarn can be used for parachutes, overbodies, legs, tails and trailing shucks. Similar to z-lon.

This is a shiny yarn, which can be as a body material in bigger flies. For smaller flies you can split the yarn, so the flies won’t get too big. Antron is good for tail material also. Often used as a heavy shiny floss on large flies or split for use on smaller flies. This translucent and reflective trilobal fiber is very easy to work with and adds sparkle to any fly body. Use by itself or blend with other dubbings to create body and shine.

It all started in the early 1920’s when Mr Ernest and Frank Veniard started collecting feathers from London poultry markets for hat mounts and brooches. This in turn led to limited supplies for fly tyers. By the mid 1930’s The Veniard brothers produced there first fly Tying Catalogue. By the start of WWII the company already had a reputation for supplying top quality materials.

There have been major changes since then with the arrival of synthetics, genetic hackles and specially designed tools. But through all this Veniard’s have and still remain one of the top fly tying suppliers in the world. Their range of fly tying dubbing materials, including the Veniard Antron Yarn listed here, is a great addition to the Troutlore store, helping us offer Australian fly tyers even more dubbing varieties than ever before.
