gpd4 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 You get mucho points for creativity - but I think if you were to make another one, you should omit the bead closest to the bend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My guess would be synthetic dubbing of a sort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2010 No it isn't Peacock either way. It is a synthetic material bearing the title of peacock due to it's similar appearance. Not peacock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flytyer14 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2010 Jan, what i'm saying is it has the appearance of peacock, it also appears to have the qualities of peacock, so i guess it's synthetic but whatever really... :boxed: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smallieFanatic 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2010 I get what you're saying, but they are really quite different. It is similar color and sheen as peacock herl--but but it about stops there. Chenille is a man made material and behaves different underwater than Herl. You might use one as an okay substitute--but one will never take the place of the other Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
