Hi gpatton,

Thanks. I tried dying some white quills a few years ago, but that didn't go so well. But, I think I did a few things wrong (nothing used to fix the colours, so they ran later, and I forgot to wash them to remove oils, etc). This time, with the wool, things went much better. I'm sure these would do well on feathers.

As for bleaching, sorry, I've not gone that route. Perhaps peroxide would work though? I would think it would weaken the fibres quite a bit and you might end up with very brittle stems, etc. But that's only a guess and could be quite wrong.
