    Default Home Made Dubbing


    First and foremost, I want to clarify I didn't come up with this idea, it's something I found on you tube.

    However, In the interest of sharing, if thought I'd show what could be done with yarn and a spice grinder.


    I can think of several ideas to put this to use. I am using Wool Yarn.

    You can add some Wing N Flash to really spice that dubbing up. Nice tie

    A coffee/herb grinder will work well. I also save my clippings of flash I. Some small canisters and that can be added in something like this.

    Good post with pics. I have boxes full of dubbing I have made from yarns and other materials. Nice material to use and a great looking fly you tied.

    I use wool yarn for jig bodies. I unravel the yarn into one strand.
    I may have to try making a dubbing noodle from wool also.

    Been doing it for years - it's a great way to mix materials for custom dubbing - just don't whirl it for too long!! especially if you put any flash pieces in you can melt them.

    Just like powder paint!! write down what you used in each mix or you'll never match it again!!

    Thank you so much for sharing the info .. I have one of those little grinders I use for charcoal powder for making my own black powder. I'll get another as they are reasonable and the different types of dubbing is seemingly endless.

    Used to do that with trimmings from an old chunk of shag carpet.
    God bless Charlie Brewer and Bobby Garland.
