Dubbing – making dubbing from wool

{{+1}}Dubbing – making dubbing from wool{{-1}}

	You can't always have every colour dubbing on hand. If you don't but have access to knitting wool of the right colour you can make your own dubbing. The conversion process is simple. Just scrape the wool with a sharp blade. The product is ready to go for wet flies but if your using it for a dry fly I suggest that you put a little floatant on your fingers and rub it well into the dubbing before you use it.
