YOu know about dubbing loops? You can achieve the same, easier,
quicker and with less bulk by splitting your thread and putting
dubbing between the two halves of the split thread instead of the two
legs of the loop. And you don't need a dubbing loop weight/spinner (a
whorl) to keep the loop closed and twist it, since you have your
bobbin hanging there doing the same thing. THe only advantage of a
loop is that you can make a loop, twist it, then let it hang for
wrapping at a later stage. With a split thread, you have to wrap once
you have inserted and twisted the dubbing (or other material).
