Mark Knapp 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2019 Are the fronds from up near the eye preferable to those from lower down on the stalk? Great give away Norm. You're swell egg. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're swell egg.Yes, they tend to be thinner stalk to the fibres and make a heel body lovely and iridescent. I like the main stalk ones for stripping off the herl and winding bodies on dries etc. They are all perfectly usable but the eye end are just the best bit.
