    For your first it's a good job! Should catch fish too! As far as tying off at the head, you just have to trap and finish same as you do with one color!

    you can PM me if you have any questions and I will try to help.

    That'll work Tom. There's a couple of other ways to add two colors in the chenille. I use a smaller chenille and tie both colors in and then twist them together, tight enough to get the desired effect. Then wrap both as you would use a single piece of chenille. Another is to tie a short piece of chenille in first on what will be the bottom, then what you want for the body. Wrap and finish the body and tie it off some and trim the end off, them take the small piece and pull it straight up the bottom towards the head and tie it off, trim and finish. Also, head cement is expensive, and most of us use Sally Hansons Hard as Nails thinned 50/50, I use acetone from the nail polish section as a thinner. There's a needle tip bottle I use to apply it, has a needle that goes in the hole to keep it from drying up and being disagreeable. All cheap stuff and works good for me. You have my number if I can ever help.
