I have been tying a lot with chenille lately - steelhead patterns with both bright and dark colors. Problem is I have noticed the chartreuse/pinks are running together with the black, which of course dulls the colors and they eventually turn to a brown only after a couple of weeks. I see the problem the most with egg patterns, green butt skunks, etc. Suggestions?:confused:

Shane,

Sounds like you have some chenile that it less than colorfast. I've never had a problem with chenile colors bleaching out or bleeding and darkening lighter colors, which might be due to the only chenile I ever use is Danville's.

If you are talking about the plastic cheniles, I've never had a problem with Estaz or Cactis Chenile.
