Ray, Did you split the yarn?

Ron. No. I did not split the yarn, but I do untwist it to make the fly a little more slender. Old Helen Shaw technique for working with yarn.

Thanks, Ray. I think I got it sorted out.

I then wrap the hackle back over the thorax, in open spiral turns. The tying thread is wound forward thru the hackle fibers, reinforcing both the herl and hackle. Very easy way to make very durable fishing flies.

You can see the steps in this tutorial (another rock worm pattern):
