I bought this in black to tie Little Black Stoneflies in Size 14-18. The feathers in the pack have excellent color and uniformity, and a nice variety of sizes. Unfortunately, they are also extremely brittle and difficult to use. IΓ’β¬β’ve never dealt with such brittle feathers in 30 years of tying. IΓ’β¬β’m going to steam them a bit and see if that helps at all.
