Hand Stripped & Dyed Peacock Quills

Take the pain, and inconsistency, out of stripping and dying peacock quills: we supply ready to use peacock eye quills in their natural color, and also dyed in a range of colors.

This body material is used to create fantastic natural segmentation of flies tied on hooks from 12-22 – dries, nymphs, spiders and buzzers.
The quill comes from peacock eyes and is hand stripped, which eliminates the problems of cracking as when bleached or chemically stripped.

Using finest natural pigments we dye them in16 different colors – the most useful range that will be appreciated by any fly tier: Natural; Olive; Golden Olive; Orange; Yellow; Red; Pink; Brown; Crimson; Ginger, Fluo Yellow, Green, Soft Pink, Forest Green, Turquoise and Blue.

Please note that the colors will differ between displays. Also, because of natural variation in the raw feathers, the final colors may not be identical between batches, though we try to keep them very close.

Packs contain a minimum of 25 quills, which should produce at least 25 flies. The length of each quill is about 5cm (2 inches).
