If this post is still about stimulator dubbing I can make a couple of suggestions for finishing your fly. By now, thanks to some experience and wisdom, you have have an abdomen foamed, threaded, dubbed, or flossed and have winged it. Now you need to consider a contrasting or imitative color for your thorax. If you are thinking orange which I think is a good choice, try mixing red and yellow hair clipped from cross 0r straight cut rabbit strips and combine them with orange antron dubbing. Just combine it by hand. Another very easy and effective thorax is peacock hurls.
For very small stimulators I dub the thorax with dyed fibers stripped from cdc feathers.

Have fun!

If you go with yarn make sure it it 100% acrylic. I also pre treat mine with some type of waterproofing spray, ie silicone, camp dry, etc. Works great for me. And I second separating the yarn into individual threads for smaller flies. You can tie one quick fly with yarn.

Yes it does. Both colors.

But you'd be far wiser to listen to Cyberfish about how he ties them.

I bought the thirty colors of superfine dubbing wapsi sells in the cube. The only colors that come close is sulphur orange, which is much lighter than I want. I agree there is a yellow color but it is not as bright as I would like to have. Acrylic yarn works so well I think I will not worry about the superfine dubbing for my stimulators. Also, I can't wait to get hold of some foam to try. You are right, those foam stimulators do look like the bomb
