WhiteBuffalo58 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2012 After reading a few recent threads on dubbing and checking out a couple of YouTube vids, I decided to give it a try. All of these start with a base of fine wool yarn. Some are blended with 2 or more colors. Then I added various other accents, fur, flash, etc. The film cannisters came with a large lot of materials I bought awhile back, and I punched a 1/4" hole in the lids to dispense it through. It was alot of fun! I've got several packages of Mohair yarn in various colors. Very fine, very soft. Anyone ever use Mohair for dubbing? Here's a pic of what i've done so far, Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's the Mohair leech pattern which is a killer panfish fly I use in the summer months. I think you'll find in time that there isn't much you can't use for some sort of dubbing materials.

They were just too "chunky" and didn't seem to want to hold into the dubbing. Other then that, all the other materials I tried, seemed to do real well.
