African Porcupine

We offer very fine hair and quills from African porcupines. The majority of the hair varies in length from about 12" to 18" (30 cm to 45.5 cm). The hair has been cleaned and sterilized. The porcupine hair come in 1 to 2 ounce bundles. Each buncle contains hair in a range of sizes and we cannot sort hair by length.The hair is thicker than that of the North American porcupine. It may or may not work for making roaches in the Native American market. Some people like it and some find it too thick....
