Product description
Peacock quill is a must-have for any fly tyer looking for a natural material with exceptional contrast, a unique texture and unmatched realism. Hand-selected for consistent quality, our quills come exclusively from premium peacock feathers — perfect for building segmented, durable, thoroughly natural bodies.
Ideal for dry flies, nymphs, perdigons and emergers, peacock quill gives a high-end finish thanks to its fine fibres, its suppleness and its resistance once varnished.
