Hair from a deer, used in fishing flies, crafts, and traditional items like masks or clothing.
From 'deer' + 'hair' (Old English 'hær'). Used in fly-tying and crafts for centuries, particularly valued for its buoyancy and texture.
Fly fishers discovered that deerhair is naturally hollow and buoyant—making it perfect for dry flies that float on water surfaces imitating insects.
