I was asked what yarn I used for peacock's tail... I know it must have a name but I got this bag of 4 partial skeins at a thrift store... It is very wispy and ethereal. I used about a foot from 3 of the skeins, couched them in place and then beaded over it. I'll look the next time I am at Michaels to see if it is something they carry. I thought it would be great in water scenes and the rust on autumn blocks... Never thought of a peacock when I bought it but isn't that the nature of CQ?? Buy it all just in case.....

It may go by other names but I've always heard it referred to as 'eyelash'. It worked perfectly for the peacock.
What a great idea for a peacock tail. Love the colors. Eyelash is what I have heard it called.
