Thank you Bucko. In terms of breathing, I'd place the yarn's action in between craft fur and silicone. It's somewhat like a softer hackle. In fact, I've thought of tying wooly bugger-styled jigs with this material.

The suede leather trailer is tied in to ensure the jig's action. It moves along just like pork rind.
