i'm not sure i understand what you mean by "splicing"??? if i break the
thread i just attach a hackle plier to the broken end and then i just
retie in the tying thread. clip off the tage ends and i can continue to
tie the rest of the fly.

I think what Hans was intending was "splitting" the thread into separate
fibers, as some do for certain dubbing techniques......
