Thread: Griffith's 14/0 Cranberry
Ribbing: Fine gold braid
Body: Peacock herl dyed red
Hackle: genetic hen furnace
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Simply superb, Carl. Those Sawada hooks make a beautiful foundation. The hackle is a perfect combination for the dyed herl body. Gorgeous.
