mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Well, I've tried to tie feather legs. It's sometimes a bit difficult with shorter barbs. But, with fibers long enough to wrap around that tool, I would have no problem tying a knot. If he could reduce the size of that tool to tie a knot in, say, inch long or shorter fibers ... then I might be more interested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikechell 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Oh ... I like the crotchet needle method. I'll have to try that with the front yard feathers I have. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crackaig 0 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 The best way I have found is to do them on the stem. Use the crochet method (You can do the same with tweezers or a latched hook). The big secret is to fix the feather in something, so that you have both hands free. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
