Another marvelous pattern from the vise of Shane Stalcup. I don't know if it is his original but it is beautiful. All the best and thanks. Sean

Hi, do you know when Stalcup made this video? I've been trying to follow the development dubbed minnow patterns like this. They are very popular now and I thought Shane may have been a big influence. I know he made fry patterns with ice dub when that material came out, similar to the z scud. He also mentioned John Betts, who did alot of patterns using poly yarn at least by 1980, and they were white so they could be colored to suit. I believe Betts also developed z-lon. Thanks, you reply would be greatly appreciated. And Happy New Year to you and yours.

These yarns don't seem to exist any more. You can find old stuff on Etsy, or Ebay. Maccaron, Wizzard yarn, orther names. I used to read these John Betts articles and they were always saying you could get whatever synthetic in any store. So far zerro results.
