I wash the feathers first in my wife's shampoo to remove the oil which IMHO
will allow the dye to set better. AK Best has a very fine book out on dying
fly tying materials.

called a Loeberg Streamer.I've never dyed feathers before. Any favorite
dyes
that you use for feathers such as this. Any other tips are welcome.

Thanks,
