Wrap the hackle to where you will be tying off. Just before the last wrap, strip off the barbs and finish with a bare stem wrap. Another trick it to slide the thread as you finish wrap on the top of the hook eye and under the hook eye as you wrap. This will have the tread push any stray barbs back away from the hook eye.
