May 9th 2017

Looking for just the right feathers for your next project? Duck feathers are a great option for so many reasons! This week we’re highlighting them to give you some insight into what kinds there are as well as some common uses for them! These feathers are available in small amounts as well as bulk amounts, so no matter what you need we have got you covered!


Mallard Feathers:

These feathers are small in size, ranging from 2-4 inches depending on the type. Mallard flank feathers are small and fluffy with a slight barring to them! They come in different colors, are super soft, and they are great for so many projects. Mallard wing feathers have that great classic feather look and come in natural shades, including some that are beautifully iridescent. These ones are slightly larger than the flank feathers and also a wonderful addition to your next artistic endeavor. Mallard feathers are perfect for flying tying, costuming, arts and crafts, jewelry making, dream catchers, and more.
