I have used the brown onion skins to dye mallard flank. It makes a good
substitue for wood duck flank on Hendricksons. I am curious about the red
onion skin?

as turmeric, red onion skins, beetroot (great to use for duns), and so

What does the curry come out as?? What fly would you use it for??

Now the question. I don't have any Hares Mask to make a real Hare Ear.
Anyone know of a suitable substitute, or color that will work?

I like grey squirral both natural and dyed olive,brown, yellow and dyed
with curry powder.
I don't bother with a rib but mix some gold crystal in with the dubbing.
My most productive sizes are 18 to 22

As promised heres the dying with onions instructions.
1.Boil the skins for 1/2 hour or a bit more depending how much colour you
want in small amount of water in a iron free pan.The solution is now left
over night to cool.
2.Strain solution through sieve and your ready for dying.
3.Heat solution to just below boiling point add previously degreased
feather or fur. Bring the water back to just below the boil and dying
continued for 30 to 40 minutes depending on colour needed.I like to add
vinegar.
