Blending superfine dubbings

Although I can easily defend the idea that "color ain't that
important" with the logical side of my brain, the other side seems
artistically compelled to take it seriously, even if Mr Piscator
doesn't
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.
Use water and a real blender. If you need to, get your dubbing out of
suspension with a coffee filter. Let it dry good.
