Rib Yellow silk (optional) (4 turns)

How to tie it
Wax yellow silk and dub a slim body of yellow mohair blended with a touch of pale blue mouse fur, ribbing with yellow silk if you want extra segmentation.
For the winged dressing, set upright wings from the lightest part of a young starling quill; for the 'buzz' (hackled) dressing, omit the wings.
Wind a grouse feather (buzz version) or blue dun hackle as a sparse collar behind the eye.
