I have not investigated enough to know for sure what it is made from but it definitely appears to me a synthetic material not a natural fiber.

So what potential fly tying applications do any of you see in in this? Although it doesn't show well in the picture, the black material has silver strands woven into the fibers that give it a nice sparkle.
Why wouldn't it work. It's the same as polar chenille, below. I'm sure it's also a lot cheaper to buy where you found it.
