Morus Silk - The New Gossamer
Morus Silk — The New Gossamer
For generations, Pearsall's Gossamer silk was a favorite among traditional fly tiers and bamboo rod builders. Prized for its exceptionally fine diameter, beautiful colors, and delicate wraps, Gossamer became an important part of fly-fishing craftsmanship.
When Pearsall's discontinued its Gossamer silk, it left a void for those who appreciated this remarkable thread.
Morus Silk carries that tradition forward.
Produced in West Yorkshire, England, Morus has a direct historical connection to Pearsall's, working with silk originally associated with the Pearsall's mill and preserving the traditional color palette through its dyeing expertise.
Today, Morus offers a superfine filament silk that captures the character and heritage of the original Gossamer, making these classic colors available once again to fly tiers and rod builders.
Proof Fly Fishing is pleased to introduce a carefully curated selection of Morus silk, including many of the traditional shades associated with classic bamboo rods and wet flies.
