My recent tying frenzy (its getting cold here now and the fire is going) has led me to the inevitable parachute flies, Klinkammers, Adams, and so on.

I wonder what people are using for posts? I find deer hair too hard to get consistent results with, and cannot find any white calf body hair. (Even though I own a beef farm here!) Calf tail is too coarse and hard to stack, rabbit is too soft. Goat hair won't stack either.

I do have some great carpet yarn that works really well, although it is a dull brown color and not too good where I want a white or orange post.

What brilliant ideas are out there among my clever mates in FAOL land?
