Trick with winding two hackles at once is they have to be married together. If they refuse, wrap one at a time. Two hackles can be placed much tighter on the hook that just one and offer a more bushy result. Not critical, unless you're fishing heavy water, and then it is important! Little Yellow Stones often live in heavy water. So the extra barbs are important in my book. You probably won't be able to tie 6-8 wraps in the same space as two hackles wound 3-4 times. Takes practice!
Probably not critical to tie one way or the other (dry fly style vs wet fly style if you're using good dry fly hackles. Both will result in good floatability. But it is a dry fly so you're supposed to tie it dry fly style!
