How did you add the yellow floss? Could you give me more detail on how you started and tied off the floss? Thanks

The yellow floss is added like any other ribbing material and is then wrapped up over the body to form the rib. Tie the floss off BEHIND the hackle before you tie it in.

Hope this helps,

Don
