Great Question Jim ! I find that the only successful manner to wrap peacock herl is to wrap it around my thread multiple times forming a cord like (chenille) looking affair and then wrapping this onto the hook shank. It seems to give good iridescent shine as well as reduce the number of time the herl breaks.
