Comparisons 

River Road Speckled Wing is another synthetic that can be used almost identically to Hareline’s No-Fray Winging Material. Both of these options can be cut to the exact size and shape of the wing you’re after. The main difference between these two synthetics is that the No-Fray Winging Material has a solid color whereas Speckled Wing has speckling on the wings, so depending on the insect you’re imitating, one may be a more realistic choice.
