Try and leave a section of (sallied) shank behind the eye clear of
thread at tie on ...
usually an eye width. This is a no go zone until hackle tie off and
whip finish.

I try to remember to do that, but sometimes I get carried away and just
wrap, wrap, wrap them damn hackles!

Looking forward to seeing the digital rendition,

I gotta get a diggi camera that will take close-up shots.
