- Wind forward in touching turns, tie in and remove the waste.
- Tie in the wing fibres by their middle in front of the wrapped silk.
- Dub over the thread turns. Lift the front fibres and wrap the thread just behind the hook eye.
- Fold the rear fibres over the dubbing forming the wing case and tie in.
