You can distribute fibers or leave them all in one spot. If you use it to "shorten" feathers like partridge or duck, often a good tacky wax can assist in gripping the materials better. Pure guard hair is quite slippery in comparison to fur, it has to be spun a bit more to hold tightly, sometimes requiring a larger thread to take that strain. Experiment, you'll find you can turn anything into hackle, with toughness a second benefit. @Rex – it will work with any hair/fur and fiber long enough to be inserted into the loop.

Lot's of potential for this technique. I'm assuming this will work with sections of other feathers as well? Nice. Lot’s of potential for this technique.
