I haven't palmered anything in a while, and some materials on the bench spoke to me. The hackle should have been started from the other end:o, but it turned out good enough to catch fish in my buds pond. Josh, I tie the chenille in and then the butt of the hackle. Keeping the hackle out of the way, wrap the chenille and do a short finish to hold it while you go to step 2. Then I separate the feather by running my hand against the grain, and wrap it in between the rows of chenille. When you get to the end do a fairly stout finish and cement it in good. To do a collar, add the hackle when you finish wrapping the chenille and just go around a few times til you get the desired effect. Stop the chenille a little short to leave room for the hackle. Had fun doing this one, now maybe I'll fool with it some and make the next one look a little better. Probably not today though. Thanx for looking.
