I use beaver balls on my recurve but I've heard using yarn works just as well if not better. There's a youtube video of it as well you should check out. Yarn also leaves you free to choose color.

only bad thing about yarn is when it rains they get soaked.

Janns netcraft. Order round leg by the foot. Best and easiest way to do it. Comes in a solid strip you can break up after you tie it. Here's mine

How many did u get? Shows ordering by the oz. 1oz is approx 1" x 5 1/2' long 40 strand. Will one oz be enuff?

[PSD Ryan]

Should be. I ordered bulk cause I work on bows on the side. Id say a thick set of whiskers like mine takes 2 to 3 feet, so an ounce should be enough to screw up once and do it over lol

That's a very good method. I'm more wasteful cause I have so much material. I take about 8 inches, fold it over twice for 4 thicknesses, tie it about in the middle, then cut the folds, separate the strands, and take a note card with a hole cut in the middle as a guide to trim it into a ball. My way is messy, uses more material and takes more time.

I will say 3 to 4 thicknesses makes a much fuller ball than 2. If I'm going 3 with 2 colors I always give the 2 thicknesses to the lighter color and 1 to the darker, seems to look better
