I bought this because I hate tying parachute posts with calf body or tail. I really like the color selection and unlike some of the other reviews (everyone is different) I really like the crinkly character of this yarn. I have used it for posts, upright wings, and tailing shucks. Try some and decide if you like it.

Looks good but time consuming and difficult

Bought this in the fluorescent orange as I could not get that color in the Mcflylon which is what I normally use. Let me start by saying the material, para post looks great on the water and is very easy to see.
However(and this is a big however for me), it is downright miserable to tie with. It comes in a ball leaving you with a mess to untangle a couple strands out of. Secondly, it is very kinked or crinkly stiff fibers. So when I'm tying a klinkhammer for example, which I tie like Tim Flagler where you cut the post material at an angle down the hook shank and wrap over it to form a tapered body. The material pokes out in every which direction making it darn near impossible to get covered in wraps without fibers peeking through. The same problem happens to a lesser degree when wrapping the post. Fibers just want to poke out at all different angles.
Yes the material is usable and you can overcome the struggles I mentioned but it much more time consuming than other materials available. I will stick with the Mcflylon for now
