Nick,
This is covered on DVD#2- Working with multiple ropes, noodles, and
hackles.
A green rope with a ginger grizzly hackle (top), and a yellow rope
(bottom), cross-weave,
and viola, fuzzy green caterpillar with a yellow belly.

I've just taken it one step further... yesterday I got too violent
with a couple of flies and the thread broke by the hook. But, like you
said.... "memory". The ropes are still on my bench. Now I have tried another
technique.
You start with making a rope... and I mean a tight rope... and I mean
a very tight rope... and I mean a TOO tight rope. Then you cut that rope
from the bobbin and tie it in at the breaking point. Then you make another
one, aaaalmost too tight. Now you have two ropes, one on the thread to your
bobbin and one hanging freely... and you can start your parallel weave!!!!!!
LOL
It's tricky but possible. And by having one of the strands(ropes)
connected to your bobbin, this is a parallel weave that you can practice
without having to cut the thread first... which became another one of those
"chills" I've been having. You can do this with other materials too... just
tried with antron and it worked like a charm. When the weaving was done, the
thread wasn't lying beside the vise, but it was in your hand, ready to be
wrapped around the antron strands. ;o)

Nick,
Cool fly. Better name.
Also try this.
After you make your rope with the dubbing and hackle, compress it
towards the hook and re-tighten (like the shaping segment). This works best
if you use monofilament for the core (or wire), and things get tight and
friction fights you.
You may have a 3" long rope that you can compress 30-50%, and it
will look way buggier, with better segments, and more dense. It will also
feel more life-like to a fish.

... before I sit down with the Fanatic Swap flies again:
Materials: Opossum & Ice Dubbing (Rust-Red-Nat. Brown) + black
saddle hackle...
Rock hard, segmented... and with a hackle that's as close to
bullet proof as you can come.
If I was to chose ONE hackled fly that I had to use for an entire
season

Testus")
