anyone dye their own quills?

What feathers do you buy in a fly shop? How long do you have to cook the quills?

Thanks.

For just dyeing a few quills, as in stripped peacock quill, or other quills, just stroke them with a magic marker.

For dyeing larger quantities of peacock and other quills, this may be of help to you;

You should not “cook” any fly-dressing material.
