Tag: None
Tail: Golden pheasant tippet
Ribbing: Silver tinsel and black ostrich herl
Body: White ostrich herl
Hackle: Blue gray
Wing: Cinnamon with black tip

The ribbing on the Lady Mills is unusual. Like a palmered hackle with a tinsel rib, the tinsel should be wound first and the ostrich herl is wound butted against the rear edge of the tinsel.
