African Porcupine Quills

Left: Assorted Regular Quills

Middle: Comparison of Regular vs. Ultra Thin Quills

Right: Ultra Thin Quills

The African porcupine quills range from about 3" or 4" long to more than 12" long.  The average quill is about 5" to 10" long .  These quills can be used for fishing bobbers.  The quills have been cleaned and sterilized. The X-Large quills are about 4-5mm thick in the middle.

We have some ultra thin quills.  They are thicker than the porcupine hair, but are thinner than most people like.

If you need quills in a narrower size range, e.g., 7" - 8", please add US$1.00 per quill for sorting.  We do not refund sorting fees.
