Try using the coffee blender upside down keeping the dubbing away from
the blades and letting the air do the blending. Just a suggestion. I
haven't tried it.

Which leads to my problem. I want to blend a couple types of very fine
dubbing. The coffee mill that will work with courser materials is useless
... the fine stuff just wads up.

I have managed to get what I want in small batches by the very tedious
process of 'pulling' tiny amounts of each type together with my thumb and
forefinger ... but we are talking tedious.

I vaguely remember someone ( Frank Reid, maybe? ) posting about some type of
"carding comb" ( this may be all wrong, just the words that come to my
head), that is used in weaving to blend fibers before they are twisted into
yarn.


Any suggestions? Take two packages of any of the "superfine" dubbings and
try to uniformly blend them into a new color to see what I'm attempting.
