Suede-Legged Green Crawler

Fish this one with fly or spinning tackle? Yes, definitely.

Materials:
  •  Mustad #2 Bronze Streamer Hook
  •  Coats Trilobal Polyester Embroidery Thread (40-wt.) - olive
  •  NY Yarns Fluff Print - avocado
  •  Orvis Marabou Plumes - olive
  •  The Beadery Suede Lace - brown
  •  Googly eyes (4mm)
  •  Dumbbell eyes (1/20 of an ounce)
NY Yarns Fluff Print is an eyelash yarn that is extremely fine, yet durable. It is made of 100% Nylon. I've stockpiled this yarn since I like it for both movement and color. Though, it's not easy to wrap without covering its own filaments (lashes).

The suede lace is cut in two to provide two pairs of thinned legs. Googly eyes are attached with super glue gel.
