| The ORIGINAL spey feather (other than the extinct Spey Cock). If you have tied with Heron substitutes like Rhea or Blue Eared Pheasant, you will quickly notice how much better the original is. These feathers are processed through a very gentle bleaching process. The feathers are lightened up before they are dyed, this gives us the ability to not only create a brighter colour, it also allows us to take the very fine "fuzz" off of the barbs. Many tyers use these finer plumes as toppings on tubes or very fine collars for shrimp and prawn patterns. The overall length of these plumes is between 4-7 inches from tip to tip. Please click on the small pictures to see the amazing beauty of the feathers.... |
