Nice loop tool - why didn't I do that instead of payin $10 for one? And great tie! As far as the loop - what I do - and I'm sure others have a different opinion - but I load the loop all at once - putting the material between the thread loop by evenly spreading out the dubbing along the length of the loop. Then when I think I have enough - I spin the loop using the tool.. I tend to make my loops long and sparse and if I need to build a bulkier body or thorax - I just make more wraps at that point. Don't know if this explains it or if it helps ya out. Like I said - I'm sure others have their way of doin it.
