Triz,

I use ultra, micro-chenille made by Hareline dubbing.. After you tie it to your hook, just make sure you take a lighter and burn the ends slightly on each end.

Hope this helps,

Where is it falling apart? From the ends? Passing it through a flame for a quick pass (just enough to tapper the ends) may prevent that. Plus the tapper will give it a more natural look. Hope that helps.

Yeah you have to have the "ULTRA chenille", regular chenille won't work for SJW's. (get Medium for bigger ones, and Micro for the little guys).
