This is a good technique to use 2 different feather colors on a parachute and wrap them together.

1. Tie both feathers on the hook shank a little and then up the wingpost.
2. Pull both feathers toward you and grab both with hackle pliers. I use heat shrink tubing to insulate the hackle plier jaws.
3. Take a dubbing tool and twist the hackle pliers. This will twist both feathers, making kind of a hackle rope.
4. Wrap the hackle around the wingpost. You are getting both feathers done with one wrapping.
5. Tie off on wing post or hook shank, whatever you prefer.
6. Advantage is it is easier to do and makes a wonderful mix of the colors. You won't get this mix wrapping them seperately.
7. Disadvantage is you will get some fibers to splay upward, since they are splaying in all directions.

I use this method, we call it a Tommy Twist, since it was shown to me by Tommy Legler.
