    My Italian is not so strong, so maybe it is explained, but I have to ask, why are the barbules cut off and not simply pulled off the stem? They are not used in any manner (although while watching I though that that method could make a good 1-feather mayfly, where the stem with the little short barbules could make a lekker body/abdomen).

    Or just build a thread body and start palmering afterwards.

    I am after the textured abdomen specifically with my thought process.
