| Tango - that's lace! |
What is "lacing" or "penciling"? That was one of my first questions when I began reading about all the different
colors that runners can be. I'm still not sure that I use the words correctly. I think "lacing" is used to describe
feathers that have a darker outer edge and "penciling" is used to describe feathers that have a lighter outer edge.
Also, the center vein of the feather usually matches the accent color of the outer edge. Some sources seem to use
the terms interchangeably. So have I defined them correctly? Don't know. What I do know, is that
a blue runner with good lacing is a thing of beauty. And the penciling of the pencileds and the grey(mallard) color
is also quite captivating.
