Semperfli Camo Chenille
Semperfli Camo Chenille is a unique 100% recycled polyester chenille which behaves much the same as hen feathers with lots of mobility. The polyester is dyed prior to manufacturing the chenille to create a wonderful twin color chenille. This material is made from plastic bottles that go through a mechanical (not chemical) process, turning them into polymers that are spun to create a unique chenille. You can wrap the chenille around the hook making it perfect for caddis, shrimps – its soft fibers promote superb movement in the water. Brushing the chenille can give it an even bushier appearance.

The chenille moves beautifully in the water, especially when used on caddis flies. It feels natural and has a great texture. I’ve used it for several weeks and it hasn’t degraded at all.
Charles Wilson –
Great quality and environmentally friendly. The 15mm length works perfectly for larger flies. The twin color effect adds a realistic touch to my presentations.
Gavin Watson –
Works well with my shrimps. The 8mm size is ideal for #12 to #14 flies. A bit more brushing is needed to get full bushiness, but it’s worth the effort.

Highly satisfied with the material. The recycled content is a plus, and the mobility in water is excellent. Easy to wrap around hooks and holds well.
