This makes them great for fire whip crackers. Yarn crackers are soft with very feathery feathers. Feathers are finished with a couple of very very small half hitches against the stem with a single yarn from each side of the feather to prevent unravelling, you can always add a bigger knot but these knots are as small as possible as they help keep the feather in place without creating a bump that bites or cuts during practice or performance.
