Developed
by D.Wotton the split thread enable the tyer to get a slim body
and light dubbing, one thread instead of 2 in a loop. Not all the
tying thread can be splitted, use Danville or Uni products.
Let do it: |
As normal tie the thread to the hook and
windup to the curve. Let the bobbin spin to remove any torsion of
the thread until it flatten. With a finger put tension and then
with a pin or needle, split it in two halves . Split it down
further with the needle and put a finger through to keep it open.

Bring the clamp holding Cul
De Canard fibers and place the fibers within the
open loop. Here we want to keep a maximun length of fibers on one side,
so we put only 3 or 4 mm inside the loop
Spin the bobbin to make a tight brush of fibers
Wind it up on the hook, pushing the fibers back at each turn.
