I need to dye some mallard flank feathers an olive color for a pattern
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,
Danl

Hi Danl,
Just gave you a long reply and my computer decided to take some time off . .
.. must be a union thing.
Short response now. In your part of the world, Kaufmanns Streamborn has
Veniard dyes. They are in Oregon and Washington State. Phone is (800)
442-4359 in one of my older catalogs.
AK Best's book is a good start as JackS indicated.
I googled the pattern, a minute or so, but didn't get a pic . . . just lazy.
If you can give me a location of a pic, I may get you kinda close to a
color. I've used about 5 different dyes for olive. (tuff color when you
are trying to match) Need to see the pattern. Heck I use at least a half
dozen different colored olive patterns just here, depending on my wandering.
