Echo everything Scruffy said. I use 6/0 but I have been tying a very long time. The problem with the thread, you get too bulky and that is what you end up with, so don't go too thick.
As far as hair...the more crinkly it is at the base, the better it spins. Nice smooth hair is nice for tails, and can be spun, but not easy.
When stacking, make sure to get rid of all fluff/fuzz. A comb helps big time.
Get some double edge razor blades. They are the sharpest plus you not only get two sides, but you can bend it and get nice bullet heads. Hair is very hard on scissors...so you know.
Keep checking in with us okay?
