I did that 35 years ago and it is still in the bag from the store.
Bill, I have separated the three "strands" and used them individually as body material. I've used it to tie yarn body buggers. It makes a decent butt on wooly worms. I've also blended a little in with natural dubbing materials.

Teased and combed out then clipped it makes excellent dubbing. Blended with other synthetics or with natural Hare Fur etc it gives a lot of body to the dubbing.
I use it a lot for dubbed bodies on Hoppers and Cicadas.
Have heard it will no longer be manufactured. Can anybody confirm this?? Jax

Lafontaine Sparkle pupa ... any Lafontaine antron pattern. Aunt Lydia is an antron yarn.
Comb it out cut in 1/8 - 1/4 inch pieces and use it for touch dubbing.
