Can someone help me?

I was wondering if someone could help me Identify these two materials.

This is out of a whiting variety pack. Not sure what kind of hackle it is. I love it and when I run out and go to buy more I'm not sure what it is called.

What is this type of chenille called? I got a ton of this stuff in a few colors from my wife's work.



Been tying up some cool looking bugger flies and jigs using these two things. Post some pics later. Thanks for any help.

I am not sure what type of hackle that is, but the chenille looks like Estaz too me

I think Heath is right on the chenille and the hackle looks like Schlappen to me.

Those feathers look to small to be schlappen feathers, it looks to be just a cool looking hackle, maybe natural furnace, someone will be along to help that will know for sure but the chenille looks very much like estaz.

Varient neck hackle , Estaz chenille or Ice chenille rootbeer

If the skin is white on the back it is a natural part of a saddle hackle not dyed . Whiting farms raises there own breeds of chickens specifically breed for tying . If I told you what one of there roosters is worth you would swallow your tongue .

Looks like neck or saddle hackle still on the hide. You can buy it strung for pretty cheap.

The chenille looks like ice root beer that I buy from CAT. That looks like brown neck hackle from Wapsi also avaiable from Cat that I buy.

I will say estaz also. Great for jigs and salmon flies. I would also go with saddle hackle on the feathers.

Thanks everyone! Yeah the feathers look a lot like the strung neck hackle I got from CAT but it is just a lot smaller.
