Default Minky substitute

Hi peoples, can I use rabbit strip instead of minky and waht width strip is best for #12 and #10 hooks.

A sbs would be good too.

Thanks.

smallest you can get hold of, rabbit is great stuff but better for the larger sizes. It's not so much the width thats the problem its the length of the fur.
