Kapok Dry Fly Dubbing

I needed a true Red color dubbing for some patterns I was working on. I couldn't find my normal Superfine dubbing in red so I chose this Kapok. Immediately, I noticed its very short fibers, and there are some clumps in it. Its not hard to dub with and does dub down to some smaller sizes, but the shorter fiber size makes dubbing a twisted noodle harder than using Superfine dubbing. I wont be replacing my inventory with Kapok, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a color here and there to add to my inventory.

These fibers from the windblown seeds of the spritual tree of live of the Maya, Kapok, is hyper fine and short. Dyed colors tend to have some micro clumps I try to avoid for 18-24 dries for tight noodles. Also, for fuzzier finish on micro caddis try touch dubbing with a spin. The Adams shade I got was more on the tan side of grey than I prefer. Get your Maya on and give it a try.

Great dubbing for Dry Flies with amazing color range. Dubs easily.
