Very nice tying. What does "worsted" mean ?

Thanks Otter. It's wool. If I am not mistaken worsted refers to wool that has been combed out to remove any of the fine, brittle, broken pieces before being used for spinning.

Now I just love this fly.
Last week I took a few fish with a slim dressed fly like this on the point while fishing two spiders on droppers. I am going to tie a few of these.
