Tip

Tip: Clipping height controls the final size

How to do it: Control egg size by clipping height

Mistake it fixes: Clipping yarn at a fixed height regardless of desired size

Why it works: Clipping height determines egg diameter. Higher clips give larger eggs, lower clips smaller ones.

When it matters most: Fly tying, egg patterns
