Larry, After you tie on to the shank, don't trim the tag end of the thread (and leave it long...about 8-10 inches or so). Apply dubbing to the thread closest to the bobbin in the usual "Nor-Vise" fashion then grab the tag end and hold it next to the dubbing noodle. Spin everything together (just like you would if you were twisting peacock herl) and you end up with a nice rope that gives a little better segmented effect once wound on the shank. This also works well when replacing the tag end of the thread with mylar or shiny wire for a little flash in the dubbed "rope".
