    Default Wool For Mixing Dubbing, Where To Buy Small Quantities

    Do you know where I can buy wool in small quantities for mixing dubbing? An entire skein is expensive.

    There are small packages of wool roving sold in hobby-lobby and joanns in different colors that works great for mixing in dubbing or using for wool head sculpins etc. Its over in the needle craft area. Print out a 40% off coupon for Hobby-Lobby to save a few bucks.

    Bruce,

    If you know anyone that does needlecraft, get on their good side. My wife knits, so I have a pretty good supply at the ready if needed.

    Regards,
    Scott

    Many years ago '70's I went into a fabric store and spoke with the ladies. I told them what I was looking for and they let me pull off a short section of everything I wanted. There was no charge, then they said I could come back anytime. I don't think those skeins are measured that closely. I have seen some sold in pounds.

    What is "Wool Roving", Ronnie?

    PS. Wool dubbing will readily absorb water and is good for nymphs, correct?
