Default Peacock Herl

Thanks Tim,
I do have and have used ostrich in place of peacock. It is similar to the
effect I am after. Just wanted the color associated with peacock.
Thanks for the idea.

Gotcha. The qualities of the two feathers are vastly different. Here's
another thought, and one I've used for fly collars befo wrap one or two
peacock herls together with one ostrich herl. It gives the luster of the
peacock with the length of the ostrich.
