Woodchuck Fur

Description

Woodchuck Fur from Nature’s Spirit is a soft, crinkly, naturally variegated brown/tan/black fur with black guard hairs that have white tips. It is used for down-wings on wets. The ample black underfur can be used to dub the bodies of a variety of nymphs.

Woodchuck fur appears reddish-brown to brown in color. However, close examination will show that the hair has four bars of color. The guard hair typically has a black base, followed by brown, then black again, and finally white tips. My favorite pelt has lighter colors: it is barred brown, tan, brown, white tips. Incidentally, the underfur is about half the length of the guard hair and usually blends with the coloration of the first two bars. 9 inch by 9 inch patch.
