Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Was worried at first when I saw the marigolds and fairy liquid. This was another excellent instructional video and much appreciated.
13:29 good morning from British Columbia. Bloody Brilliant! I've always wondered about the process of dyeing feathers at home. I am now ready to take it on. The hair dryer with the pot and splash guard is a stroke of genius. Instant feather dryer! You have helped advance my tying in so many ways over the last 20 years. I shall once again be happily contributing to your PayPal account. Tight lines Davie, and thanks again.
when i look on your video the CDC feathers ...😮😮😮that must be a hammer quality👌🏻👌🏻 ..... somtimes not realy easy to find top quality feathers here in switzerland 🤯🤯
Good morning from NJ USA. Although I’m sure you’d be a fine host, I may skip the chicken soup if offered! No offense intended Davey. Seriously though, your dying technique is simple and very effective. You cooked up a nice video. Thanks!
Hi Harry, I would have but I have run out, it's a great way of making the CDC feathers ready to go when you tye a fly as it doesn't need any floatant for a while and will last a few fish before you need to do it again.. All the very best Davie
Hi Davie , interesting video , I have asked this before , I have 2 pacs of M. P .culdy , 1 light red and the other a pale blue , should I bleach these white before I change their colours and what colour could i achieve if I keep their original colours of red and blue
Hi Stewart, I would dye the blue yellow as this can make a good green/olive though the red I would dye black as I normally dye like this to get a nice black..But if you don't want these colours then as you said you'll have to bleach the feathers then dye them the colour you want.. All the very best Davie
Where did you get the feathers from in China? I understand you have a link but they are way to expensive to send to my part of the world as the shipping alone is $100.
Hi Glenn, When I bought the kilo of the CDC it cost $60 to send which was a few years ago and since covid everything has went through the roof especially when it comes to postage and materials..I had a look a week or so ago and the company that sold it to me no longer has it advertised..At the time when I was buying bulk materials I was working for a fly tying company in Thailand looking for materials for them which was around 10 years ago.. All the very best Davie
Davie that’s very nice! For some reason we can’t buy any good CDC in the states ? I mean it’s bad I just ordered a few packs and they have 20 feathers in each bag and they are junk. Any way you can share where you buy yours? Or would you be willing to sell a small lot of each color? The bag you made would last me 10 lifetimes…. Lmk thanks
I'm in europe though but I've had good experiences with "Swiss CDC" and the Marc Petitjean branded stuff. Swiss CDC has a lot of selection in size and quality etc. Got some from "the fly co" branded large cdc that has been pretty decent. Most sell in 1gram packs though but that's a lot of feathers anyway. I guess you got some like the veniard packs of cdc?
Hi Scott, I bought a kilo of the CDC from a company that sells through Alibaba as I used to work for a fly tying company so I got a few grams for myself..I'll see if I can find the company for you as it's been a few years since I worked for that company but if you want to buy some good CDC then I have attached a link to Premier Angling as they sell some of the best CDC you could buy. premierangling.ie/product/ultra-select-cdc-2-grams-bags/ All the very best Davie..
@@DavieMcPhail thanks Davie, I have to see what the conversion rate and shipping will be. But it’s very hard and very expensive here and good luck getting the color you want!!! After watching your video I really wouldn’t mind making my own colors. I did search for bulk white cdc but dead end so far so if you have a lead I’d appreciate it!! Thanks again
Hi Ross, No I haven't, I just had run out of it I think as I couldn't find the bottle anywhere or I would have used it in the video.. All the very best Davie
Davie I have 100 % raw spun silk from mountains of Pakistan in a very long woven cord & I use persalls silk colors , any ideas what to do with it ?? The white cdc feathers I threw out Yours aye phil
Hi Phil, I've never had 100% raw spun silk so I'm not sure what I would do with it as like yourself I've used the pearsalls silks for tying with...I would maybe have a go at dyeing and using it as it's a natural fibre so it should work.. All the very best Davie
Hi @luiginopacifici I used to work for a fly tying company many years ago and my job was to source materials and this is how I found it though they can get things wrong at times so you have to be careful as they can send you the wrong feathers..If you are just looking for good quality feathers then you'l not go wrong with the CDC from Premier Angling, I have attached a link to them as well for you to see...

I once used that drying method with the feathers in a plastic container for chocolates. They came out all greasy, heat must have leached.oil out of the plastic. Very annoying, don't use plastic.

Simply awsome davie tks so much 😊

So great.when you do the color of a feather it is like a 🎨 painting,
Maybe one spoon,
No two,really nice.
Thanks Davie for sharing this great video with us.
Happy Fathers day Davey !
Thank you @wansak2977...
As a kid I was mentored by Eric Leiser and he made me dye all my materials from white feathers. I still make all my own dubbing.
You’re amazing! Thank you for showing this dying technique.
Great video Davie, must try the dyeing myself some day. Hope your keeping well
Thanks Davie much appreciated, looks amazing 😮 never got the hang of double dying but that was a very informative video many thanks again, ❤

very nice,thanks for sharing
Thanks Davie
Davie McPhail you must be more well known than Robert the Bruce
awesome Sir
Always fun to dye your own. Just as long as you don't get caught by the wife.
Looks delicious, do you serve it with rice or tatties ?.😅
This was super informative like your other dying vids, but where to you get all the cdc from???
Hi Davie! Do you spray the cdc with nix wax after dying to make float better?
Hi Harry,
I would have but I have run out, it's a great way of making the CDC feathers ready to go when you tye a fly as it doesn't need any floatant for a while and will last a few fish before you need to do it again..

On an earlier video you treated CDC with a spray on waterproofing. Have you quit doing that? was there a reason?
Hi Ross,
No I haven't, I just had run out of it I think as I couldn't find the bottle anywhere or I would have used it in the video..

Davie your great l cannot boil an egg ( lost the recipe )
Ahh,, duz rok dude... :D
Just been asked, "Why are they cooking onions with a hair dryer?"
I once used that drying method with the feathers in a plastic container for chocolates. They came out all greasy, heat must have leached.oil out of the plastic. Very annoying, don't use plastic.
It's was all going grand, until you started the hair dryer, the dog has lost the plot
I would be hung on the door for this,hair dryer, best pan, kitchen. 😂😂. Great result though. Sorry to ask what does it day on your tea mug? Fart...
Hi John.
It says, Farter of the year, it was a fathers day gift from one of my sons, I'm not sure why he thinks this...😎🤣
