Came across a nice stillwater pattern I want to try out but calls for seal dubbing which I don't have. What makes a good substitute for seal dub ?
Thx's

While not as translucent or shiny as seal angora goat has a texture much like seal.I use seal myself but I sometimes see Seal-Sub for sale on line.Don't know what it's made of.

Most of the ones you see are antron carpet yarn chopped up. SLF is quite a good one, but there is no substitute for the real thing.

Try Simi Seal.

I've been using 'Real Seal' from Feathercraft. I like it, but I'm not allowed to have any of the real stuff for comparison!
Why is there a ban on seal fur dubbing, there are no seals killed in the process.
Adult seal fur is useless for dubbing, the fur used is the fur discarded on the beach after two weeks
by the baby seals. It would just be washed out to sea, or used by birds for their nests.
The people who banned its use are just showing their neurotic prejudices and ignorance.
